Description:

Primary is a generic name for several different body styles of the mid-19th century. There are many variations of this basic shape.

Some have uninterrupted vertical panels as in the Jacob Furnival child's pieces. Others may have a single straight line at the waist, or several lines belting the waist; diamond-styled vertical panels; or split vertical panels.

 

What they all have in common is a bulbous shape, a pedestal base and a flared rim. Both the rim and the base reflect the number of panels: six, eight or ten. For further information on this body style, refer to the book Mulbery Ironstone by Ellen R. Hill.
