Color harmony in earthy tones and expressive surface texture were key characteristics of Arts and Crafts objects, especially pottery. Writer Margaret Pendleton praised the Paul Revere Pottery's ware in 1910, commenting, "The glaze is dull, soft in color and texture…The colors are pure yellow, soft green, old blue and a tan. Their success in color scheme is wonderful."
