Round

This late 19th century design was used by many potters of that era. Notable are the Tea Leaf designs by Anthony Shaw and the Teaberry motif examples by Clementson Brothers. Both examples have knob finials The Plain Uplift body style has simple lines and the uplifted handles attached to the body. Sometimes the handles are adorned with a decoration similar to beaded band.

Priaire Shape is embossed with wheat sheaves and poppies. This body style rivaled Elsmore & Forster's Ceres Shape in popularity. Produced for the American export market, the name and the design had instant appeal.

Registered in 1862.

Clementson's New York Shape is characterized by a tapered bulbous body with embossed leaf designs sometimes referred to as phoenix. The distinctive base has a thumbprint design below the low waist.

Registered in 1858.

The lavish embossing on a known ewer and wash bowl set prompted the name of this unusual body style. To date, only chanber sets have been discovered in this body style.

The ribbing at the base of the chamber pieces may have been the inspiration for the Adams' 20th century Tea Leaf replicas (Empress). Since Adams called his ware "Empress," we have dubbed this late 19th century product Old Empress. After all, in the late 1890-'s, Queen Victoria was indeed an "Old Empress."

Note that the potter is C. Challinor who was in business for only four years, from 1892 to 1896. This firm was the successor of the better known E & C Challinor, 1862-1891.

This is a generic category which includes scalloped rim pieces, both flat and hollow, that have no specialized embossing. In addition, it includes the scalloped rim bone dishes, butter pats, and nappies.

The embossing at the top of the handle resembles a Bird Foot Violet, a five petal flower with foilage. The lustre outlining the vines, which flow from the handle terminals, is an unusual and pleasing addition to this basically plain, round bulbous body style.

The Reeded Round body style has to date only been found on bath sets. The style sports a scalloped-shaped basin and graceful ewer with scalloped rim. The C-shaped handle bears a knob to assist in handling the heavy ewer when filled with water. Both pieces are decorated with embossed reeding surrounding the base of each.

The bulbous waist of this body style is embossed with ribbing that resembles a melon.

All over forget-me-not flowers inside diamond squares resembling a quilt.
