Chrysanthemum features lavish floral embossing on the upper body. This late Victorian bulbous style may be found in copper or gold lustre motifs.

Registered in 1886.

This is a gold-lustre decorated body style. Full Ribbed pieces are usually of porcelain or other lightweight china. In purist measure, it does not fit with the Tea Leaf Club International definition of wares that the club promotes, but is included here for educational purposes. The Bridgwood firm has been in existence for almost two centuries, so it's hard to say exactly when they made Full Ribbed. Godden states that this company produced porcelain wares prior to 1887; semi-porcelian wares in the first half of the 20th century.

The T & R Boote pottery is primarily known for its early Sydenham Shape lines. The Classic Shape is a rare example of this famous pottery's later work.

About 1868.

Although the Baker pottery was not a prolific producer of Tea Leaf wares, they did decorate their handsome Draped Leaf style with a classic copper lustre Morning Glory motif.

The only body style produced by Bahl China, to date only small bowls have been found. 1940-41.

Jumbo is a rare and unusual body style. The teapot is pear-shaped and very plain except for the addition of chrysanthemum flowers on each side of the handle terminals. The striking feature, is, of course, the well defined elephant head and trunk on the handles. This is repeated on the finial with two elephant heads facing away from each other. Jumbo was Henry Alcck's charming contribution to the animal feature whimsey of the 1880's.

Embossed arrowhead shapes located near the rims of both holloware and flatware pieces attest to the origin of the name of this early body style. Even the ring finial is embelished with an arrowhead.

Registered in 1858.

Holloware pieces are six-sided with distinctive sunburst finials. Shapes on some serving pieces have scalloped feet while the tea service items have plain bases.

This is the same blank as Hanging Leaves but with added embossing of fuchsia leaves which cover the entire body of the holloware pieces. This blank is so heavily embossed, the decorators had difficulty finding an appropriate place to paint the Tea Leaf. Even plate rims and cup sides are adorned with embossed leaf and flower sprigs.

To date, only bath pieces have been found in Cattail. It features an oblong body style adorned with cattail like lines eminating from the handle terminals.
