Description:

Niagara Fan is thought to be one of the first body styles decorated with the traditional Tea Leaf motif. The fan designs at the junction of each ridged section resemble Walley's Niagara Shape, thus the name, Niagara Fan.

Note that on Niagara Fan there are four flutes in the design, whereas Niagara Shape has five.  Also, the Shaw decoration extends al the way to the neck on teapots, etc.  The Walley design terminates at a decorative band that surrounds the neck.

Registered in 1856.
