Teaberry

Holloware pieces in this attractive style are divided into four sections by the ridged loops. Flatware pieces such as plates and platters have six sections while cups are divided into five sections. The rosebud finial lends its name to this early body style.

A close cousin to Grand Loop, Loop and Line features a horse-shoe shaped line decoration on the flange of underplates. Covered dishes have a split pod finial encircled with foilage.

Round Scallop features deep scallops surrounding the well of the plate, but the outer rim is round and not sided. There may be other potters who produced this as well.

This bulbous body style features embossed grape leaves spreading from the finials and the handle terminals. It is found with at least two types of finials, the ring finial and also a grape cluster version. Since it is found with such a variety of treatments, including the unusual Botanical motifs, it was evidently one of the most popular of the early body styles.

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 late 19th century design was used by many potters of that era. Notable are the Tea Leaf designs by Anthony Shaw and the Teaberry motif examples by Clementson Brothers. Both examples have knob finials The Plain Uplift body style has simple lines and the uplifted handles attached to the body. Sometimes the handles are adorned with a decoration similar to beaded band.

This is a special body style listing for heavy weight cups and saucers that were evidently used as hotel ware. The cups have twelve panels while the saucers have 18 panels. Also noteworthy, the saucers by each of the potters have a double circle defining the well.

The Clementson Brothers ware are handled or handleless while Mr. Shaw's and Mr. Meakin's are handled. Guests using the Shaw set had to finish their "good to the last drop" beverage in order to find the Tea Leaf hiding in the bottom of the cup.

Priaire Shape is embossed with wheat sheaves and poppies. This body style rivaled Elsmore & Forster's Ceres Shape in popularity. Produced for the American export market, the name and the design had instant appeal.
