1890s

This category includes compotes, rectangular platters and side dishes, square nappies and butter pats. They were made by many of the late period potters in a simple form without added embelishment. Thus, they could be used with any of the myraid of dinner services in vogue.

This body style is used to describe the identical ladles that Wilkinson and his allied potters used with different body styles, including: Daisy 'n' Chain and Hawthorn.

Named for the finials, this late Wilkinson body style has bulbous sides and a nicely shaped base. Its simple lines and forthright design combined with the distinctive finials and handles that resemble sunbursts make it very appealing.

Holloware pieces in Maidenhair Fern feature embossed fern designs at the handle terminals. The same embossing is found at the strap finials. Although basically a rectangular shape, it is softly rounded. Tea service pieces and pitchers have scalloped rims above a very pronounced neck. They are very high waisted, then taper to a scallopd base. Note that some bath pieces have a roiund footprint.

A body style developed by Vodrey & Brother Pottery, Ursilla features a round footprint with scrolling embossing on the throats of pieces such as shaving mugs.

The body is smooth and free of embossing.  The base is very round.  The neck is ruffled.

Palissy is a body style developed by Vodrey and Brother Pottery. It is a square shaped body style with elliptical finials and eared handles. The gold lustre Tea Leaf on this body style may seem almost to be on its side.

With very few specimens of this body style found, a soup tureen has provided the most details. It was potted in semi-porcelain. The name was derived from the corner embossing that resembles kingly trappings topped by a crown. Godden lists a Smith, Ford and Jones pottery in business for a short time prior to 1895. It is possible that the marking we know of as S. F. & J. refers to this pottery as the general characteristivs of this body style are consistent with this era.

This 1890s body style has been discovered in a ewer and wash bowl set. The ewer is divided into four bulbous lobes. There are pleats at the spout and upper rim with vines surrounding the side and front lobes at the neck. The bottom rim also has the vine motif at the foot of each lobe. A C-shaped handle complements the piece with embossing on both sides.

This four lobed design is repeated in the bowl with an undulating rim and vines just below. A fantastic piece! 

This body style was identified by a printed mark.

A smooth body with tapered base and vertically ribbed neck. The piece has large ear-shaped handles.
