Body Style: Sonata

Biography

A charming variation of the Plain Round styles of the 1870's, Anthony Shaw used lavish copper lustre decoration at the handles and finial surrounds. The uplifted handles are molded with a tied bow seen both on sugar bowls and on pickle/relish dishes. The medallion arch typ[e finial seems out of keeping with this style of handles. Creamers have a slightly scalloped rim and high spout, very similar to Shaw's Cable and Ring body style.

Body Style: Shaw's Plumes

Biography

Another unusual plate from Anthony Shaw features a slightly scalloped rim with embossed plumes. According to the mark, this dates to after 1882.

A saucer and a plate are the only known pieces so perhaps there is an entire dinnerware set.
