Although the Baker pottery was not a prolific producer of Tea Leaf wares, they did decorate their handsome Draped Leaf style with a classic copper lustre Morning Glory motif.

The only body style produced by Bahl China, to date only small bowls have been found. 1940-41.

Jumbo is a rare and unusual body style. The teapot is pear-shaped and very plain except for the addition of chrysanthemum flowers on each side of the handle terminals. The striking feature, is, of course, the well defined elephant head and trunk on the handles. This is repeated on the finial with two elephant heads facing away from each other. Jumbo was Henry Alcck's charming contribution to the animal feature whimsey of the 1880's.

Embossed arrowhead shapes located near the rims of both holloware and flatware pieces attest to the origin of the name of this early body style. Even the ring finial is embelished with an arrowhead.

Registered in 1858.

Holloware pieces are six-sided with distinctive sunburst finials. Shapes on some serving pieces have scalloped feet while the tea service items have plain bases.

This is the same blank as Hanging Leaves but with added embossing of fuchsia leaves which cover the entire body of the holloware pieces. This blank is so heavily embossed, the decorators had difficulty finding an appropriate place to paint the Tea Leaf. Even plate rims and cup sides are adorned with embossed leaf and flower sprigs.

To date, only bath pieces have been found in Cattail. It features an oblong body style adorned with cattail like lines eminating from the handle terminals. 

This small, squatty style features a bulbous pear-shaped body. Covered pieces are topped with an elegant round finial; tea service pieces have huge "C" shaped handles which appear to be out of proportion with the small body.
