Round

Royal Shape is a rare example of a body style that features a bulbous round body with embossed leaves at the upper handle terminal. Note that the impressed mark of this potter-named body style does not contain the word "Shape."

A bulbous base with a belt and buckle wrapped around it. The finial looks a lot like cable or a piece of rope.

The color of pale Baltic amber, Edge Malkin's elegant Tea Leaf ironstone would be at home at a palatial feast. There are two styles of tea services: one has a high domed lid and the other a flat lid. The finials of the sauce tureen and the rare lidded pancake server are truly regal.

This body style features bracket handles, pagoda finials and beading on the handles - hence the name!

The classic lines of this tapered round ware inspired the name "Rondeau." The name is particularly suitable, as in classic poetry and music, a Rondeau features a repeated line. Davenport's Rondeau carries this theme out with the wide and narrow copper lustre bands rimming flatware pieces and the rim and collar bands on hollowware pieces.

Identified by the intricate embossed rope on the handle.

Beribboned and bowed, this body style has beaded handles on tea set pieces and embossed stems and leaves flowing from the handle terminals. The same embossing is repeated on the lid. The gold lustre outlining the designs is completed with cloverleaf motifs.

Registered in 1878.

Edward Walley decorated this widely popular design with a variety of lustre motifs. In addition to the Tea Leaf and related motifs, Walley also used Chelsea Grape and other various painted patterns.

The flared round tea service pieces flow to an extremely low waist and then are sharply indented to a shaped base. The shape of dinner serving pieces can be seen in the Register of Designs, British Patent Office, dated November 29, 1856.

This is a beautiful pattern with thumbprint impressions surrounding the base of pieces and arched panels along the sides with embossed spriggs of wheat flaring upwards and out. Copper lustre or polychrome with copper lustre highlights the wheat shafts and other embossed elements on these pieces.
