Lustre Band

Niagara Fan is thought to be one of the first body styles decorated with the traditional Tea Leaf motif. The fan designs at the junction of each ridged section resemble Walley's Niagara Shape, thus the name, Niagara Fan.

Note that on Niagara Fan there are four flutes in the design, whereas Niagara Shape has five.  Also, the Shaw decoration extends al the way to the neck on teapots, etc.  The Walley design terminates at a decorative band that surrounds the neck.

Registered in 1856.

This body style was named for it's embossed half-cross "stitches" separated by dots.

Another of the very popular wheat styles, this one is by Powell and Bishop and features double sprays of wheat sheaves with flowers on a bulbous round shape. Registered in 1869.

An embossed spray of flowers and foilage emanating from the handle terminals graces the body of the bulbous, rounded serving pieces.  Smaller sprays are found on the rims of plates and platters. 

Powell and Bishop decorated the Prairie Flowers blanks of their predecessors, Livesley and Powell, with the fanciful copper lustre Pomegranate design. Pitchers have a vertical arrangement of wheat and poppy embossing which characterized this body style.

This body style is identified by lacy embossing and lustre decoration.

True Scallop is characterized by the sided rim and the deep scalloped well of the plate. About 1853.

Prize Bloom is a well named body style. It features blooms not only on the finial but on the spout and the looping handle.

With a profusion of copper lustre adorning the blooms, it is a delightful example of this potter's art.

 Registered about 1853. Only tea sets are currently known in this body style.

The syndenham body style was introduced by T & R Boote in 1853. It achieved instant popularity and thus was copied widely. The three potters (Livesley and Powell, Anthony Shaw and Edward Walley) decorated their Wrapped Sydenham versions with a variety of treatments. Collectors will find traditional Tea Leaf (Shaw) , Scallops (Walley) and Lustre Band (Livesley & Powell) motifs. FInials may also vary - Shaw may have a bud finial ahile Walley feature an acorn finial. Patton also made wares in this body style.

The finial on this body style is a fig lying atop a bed of leaves. Pieces are decorated with thick copper banding.
