Gentle Square, named for the rounded contours of its basic square shape, is probably best known for its whimsical handle and finial treatment. The body has corner fluting similar to Meakin's Fishhook body style. Some collectors have nicknamed this style "Rooster," while others feel the design resembles a fish rather than a fowl.
Registered in 1876.
