The phoenix bird mark on a known sugar bowl reads J. Clementson while a pitcher is marked Clementson Brothers. Arnold Kowalsky points out that "Many prior Joseph Clementson shapes were reissued by his sons."

The ring-handled shape is consistent with styles of the 1850s, but the mark on a known pitcher indicates a later production date.

This simple square body style flares gently outward to the low waist, then is abruptly indented to the recessed base. It is named for the oriental flavor of the arch finials and handles. The Steubenville Pottery version is often decorated with a Tea Plum also called the Tea Leaf lollypop.

Double bands surround the loops of this body. 

The tiny foilage motif is found embossed six times around the rim of plates. Holloware pieces such as the covered vegetable dish have heavily embossed foilage in addition to the tiny motifs

This round style is characterized by deeply incised loops covering the entire surface of holloware pieces. The loop design is also adapted to handleless cups. Grand Loop is found with a variety of copper lustre treatments including unusual botanical motifs.

The flourish of brilliant copper lustre which completely covers the finials, coupled with the prominent flare of the tea service pieces, evoke thoughts of blaring trumpets. Pieces are sometimes found with an impressed "No. 2", a mark found on other Elsmore & Forster body styles. Examples of Fanfare pitchers have been found sporting botanical motifs and having air holes near the upper handle joints and in the base - a puzzle to learn more about!

Embossed clusters of flowers and leaves hang from loops near the rims of hollowware pieces. This is a popular Elsmore & Forster body style and is found with many types of decoration including transfer designs and mulberry patterns.
