A very ornate body style, usually of porcelain, Rococo is found in many guises with variations in embossing and shaping. Some examples of the body style can be found with fancy, footed bases while others have flat shaped bases below subtly embossed bodies.

The name "Richelieu Shape" evokes thoughts of fancy French rococo designs but the plain bulbous lines of this body style defy that description. The conical knobs, some with circus tent stripes, is the only relief from a rather simplistic form.

This panelled round style boasts distinctive trumpet flower finials. Portland Shape was potted over a period of thirty years. It is found decorated with marvelous copper lustre Morning Glory motifs or equally beautiful green and copper Reverse Teaberry designs. Some tea services have been found with Pomegranate finials. 

Note that children's sets were not made in Portland Shape but were made in Columbia Shape.

Plain Round is a term we use to describe a variety of wares by different potters. These wares are typically of a simple bulbous shape, unadorned and may have been produced for institutions such as hotels or restaurants and Inns. Durability was the drawing card, yet there is beauty in the simplicity of the lines. They were not necessarily manufactured to go with one body style but with many different ones. Plain Round can be found in children's and adult wares, as well as in bath and dinnerware items.
