Round

Hyacinth features an embossed hyacynth under the handle near the top where the handle attaches to the rim The embossing extends across the face of the body on the upper third of pieces such as creamers. Cochran applied the pre-tea leaf motif in copper lustre to this body style.

Elegance is a round style with fancy scroll-like embossing at handle terminals and at the finial. The distinctive double C-scroll finial is quite unusual and is the inspiration for the name "Elegance." Registered in 1884.

The simple lines of this bulbous round style are relieved by the bands of beads found at the handle arch and on the finial. Dressed up with a bold teaberry motif, it has a plain but pleasing look.

The foliage embossed center front and center back of hollowware pieces covers a large portion of the surface. The clever decorators used this feature to advantage by painting not one but two Teaberry motifs on each side of the embossed design.

The lavishly embossed Lafayette Shape was a name that would appeal to the average housewife. Strangely, the plates and platters in this body style are plain in conrast to the hollowware pieces. 

Embossed scrolling highlights this body style. Note the alternating wide and narrow ribs that punctuate the necks of pitchers, sugar bowls, teapots, etc. These are repeated on the shaped base.

Registered in 1860.

This is a gold-lustre decorated body style. Full Ribbed pieces are usually of porcelain or other lightweight china. In purist measure, it does not fit with the Tea Leaf Club International definition of wares that the club promotes, but is included here for educational purposes. The Bridgwood firm has been in existence for almost two centuries, so it's hard to say exactly when they made Full Ribbed. Godden states that this company produced porcelain wares prior to 1887; semi-porcelian wares in the first half of the 20th century.

The T & R Boote pottery is primarily known for its early Sydenham Shape lines. The Classic Shape is a rare example of this famous pottery's later work.

About 1868.
