sprigged
Decorated with twigs
Sprigged describes something decorated with small sprigs—representations of twigs, leaves, or flowers—typically embroidered, printed, or molded onto fabric or ceramics.
A sprigged muslin or sprigged cotton features delicate floral patterns scattered across the material, common in traditional and vintage textiles.
In pottery, sprigged decoration refers to small ornamental motifs applied to the surface before firing.
The term evokes a dainty, old-fashioned aesthetic.
