Tea Leaf

Simplicity is a bulbous round style with uplifted handles. There is no embelishment other than the prominent Tea Leaf motif featured on the Shaw examples or the distinctive Rose motif of Powell and Bishop wares.

This body style is used to describe the identical ladles that Mellor Taylor used with different body styles, including: Lion's Head and Square Ridged - Hearts.

This Square Ridged style was dubbed "Hearts" because of the heart-like lustre decoration on the finials and handles of the serving pieces. The lids of the teapots and sugar bowls appear to be almost too large for the body. Mellor Taylor made a complete dinner service in this style including such incidentals as butterpats, square sauce dishes, cups and saucers - everything except plates. 

Ribboned Round features ribbons that stream from the upper handle terminals of holloware pieces like the teapot and waste jar. The design is repeated on the lids. Handles and finials are keyhole arches with splashes of copper lustre.

This body style features arched panels with spade-like decorations at the base of each panel. It's reminiscent of the designs in the art nouveau period - hence the name. To date, only a bath ewer has been found.

This body style is used to describe the identical ladles that Alfred Meakin used with different body styles, including: Bamboo, Brocade, Fishhook and Scroll.

The spoon warmer (or vase) is the only piece known in this body style and is typically referred to as "Nautilus." We've added the word "Shell" to distinguish this from Clementson's Nautilus body style.

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 is very akin to the Delphi pattern produced by Thomas Elsmore. It bears a plain, smooth body with elaborate steeple handles and finials.

A bulbous body style with ribbing that covers the bottom portion of pieces in a "fan" or "shell" pattern.
