Apart from figurines, almost all BC Ceramics pieces were decorated with décors, native motifs, surface textures, and colour glazes unique to the company.

Some of the most common décors were:

Northern Lights

Mardi Gras

Autumn Leaves

Dogwood

Bamboo

Flamenco

Carnival

Windblown

Pussy Willow

Mosaic

Crackshell

Overflow

Mink Orange

Tropical Fish

Butterfly Jewels

Plain

BC Ceramics also capitalized on public interest in native motifs which were applied in relief or painted on the surface of selected items.

Both glossy and matte glazes are common, often in several colours - “twintone”, mottled, or speckled  - or in monochrome, plain black, gray, cream or white. Dimpled, rough surfaces and sgraffito markings are also evident on bowls and vases.
