Golden drape is a bulbous body style that features a smaller base and a flared neck on pitchers. The handles are of a "C-scrolled" design.

Chain Link is named for the unusual handle of the ewer that has been found. It is completed by the trefoil embossing at the upper handle terminal. The rim is gracefully sculptured lending a refined quality to the overall body style.

Elegantly embossed near the base and surrounding the finial, this body style was the perfect complement to the table linen of the period.

The lids of holloware pieces feature fleur-de-lis streamers and wreaths culminating in the tied bow finial. This style is listed as Bow Knot in Dieringer's White Ironstone China Plate Identification Guide. Since the name "Bow Knot" has been used as the title for WIlkinson's bath set body style, we have modified it to "Bow Tie."

Styled after the Johnson Brothers Tracery body style, these pieces feature beading near the base of the cups and a botanical vine design embosed on the saucers and plates.

Holloware pieces feature both the Tracery-style beading and the botanical design.

Usually found in white ironstone, these Tea Leaf decorated examples are rare indeed.

After 1897.

The scroll body style is thought to be Alfred Meakin's earliest style adorned with the tea leaf motif. Scroll is identified by the copper lustre decoration found at the finials and handles. The keyhole arch finial is also an identifying element.

This body style mirrors the age of the dashing cavalier Charles Stuart II, King of England, in the late 17th century. The bulbous base and upright neck are typical of the pouring vessels of that period. 

Pieces feature delicately embossed designs reflecting the influence of mid-eastern cultures. It was potted during the period of the British rule in Northern Africa, perhaps to celebrate the expansion of the British Empire.

Another of Hughes' lavishly embossed body styles, it features ferns and leaves at handle terminals.

It is very similar to a body style potted in white ironstone identified as Hawthorn's Fern in White Ironstone: A Collector's Guide, Wetherbee, 1996. 

John Hawthorn liquidated his business in 1887. Is it possible that the Hughes pottery bought these molds for this piece?

Dignity is a bulbous body style of the late 19th century. Its shape is reminiscent of a Victorian matron in her heyday. The fluted body is embellished with a botanical embossing emanating from the upper handle terminals. Teapots also show this embossing on the opposite side of the handle terminal high above the spout.

The circular arch finial and C-shaped handles are other attributes on holloware pieces.
