Tiger skin paper ( 虎皮纸) -1

Yet another form of Chinese decorated paper is known to the Chinese as 虎皮纸-- Tiger-skin paper. The paper is a form of sprinkled paper, with ist chief feature being white spots sprinkled on a ground colour. Judging from the appearance of the paper, the spots would have been made by sprinkling a caustic substance ( perhaps potash) onto dyed paper. As the potash would cause the dyes to decolourize, a pattern of white spots would form.

The form of the spots on the pattern varies widely, in some cases, they look like little starbursts. in others, like here, the maker appears to have allowed the chemical to flow, creating streaks. 

"Annonay paper"/ Papier d' Annonay

Papier d' Annonay is a name that is given to a particular type of decorated paper. It is named after a town in France, which is famed for it's paper manufacture*. These papers were a popular and decent substitute for the more expensive marbled papers for bookbindings & other uses. Indeed, so popular are these papers, that they are still used today. However, unlike the originals, which were made by speckling paper with paint, these examples tend to be printed. These papers are, to this day, oft used in notebooks and ledgers.
