Oblong

Henry Burgess' late entry of a Square Ridged style featured ribbing below the low waist of a flared body which is almost hexagonal. The upturned bracket handles are decorated with beading on the underside. The graceful curve of the triangular arch finial softens the vertical lines of this style. Registered in 1896.

This Square Ridged body style was produced by Burford Brothers and sports large ear-shaped handles and horizontal flattened finials. Decorated with gold stylized Tea Leaf without buds, it does look like a sturdy ware that would celebrate the bounty of the day.

A complete line of this gold-lustred ware was advertised as "Iona" in an 1895 catalog. The graceful arc of the finial and the vertical handles add to the attractiveness of this late body style. Registered in 1886.

The bulbous sides of this square style inspire the name "Puffy." The diamond shaped openwork finial is a unique addition to an interesting form.

Corn's Square Ridged can be distinguished by its odd shape and scalloped rim. The somewhat facetious nickname "Square Pear" is based on the very wide lower section of the body. The body flares from a relatively narrow collar to a low waist with a narrow band of ribbing below. The bud-less gold or copper lustre motif is reminiscent of Davenport's Tea Leaf. Shaving mugs follow conventional lines but have a band of ribbing near the base. The gold lustre cloverleaf is an unusual adaptation on an ironstone body style.

Daisy 'n' Chain is a slighly bulbous square style featuring rosettes at the handle corners and in the arch finial. The chain decorations are found at the handle terminals and under the finial arch.

This late square style has intricate basketweaving embossed in the lower third of holloware bodies. Basketweave has become one of the most collectible of the late Shaw products.

One of the most popular and available bulbous body styles, it is said to have been potted to commemorate the laying of the Trans-Atlantic cable.

A square style with handles and finials resembling bamboo stalks, this was one of the most widely produced body styles. Holloware pieces were available in straight-sided style as well as a slightly bulbous version. Bath set pieces such as ewers and master waste jars are often round and bulbous.

Registered in 1873.

Golden Scroll is a basic square shape with rounded ends. It features embossed scrolling at the lower corners. In some pieces, this scrolling is emphasized with gold lustre outlines.
