Copper Lustre

Wedgwood's (1880s) version of this body style is probably the best known and the most abundant of the Square Ridged varieties. Its popularity is attested by Red Cliff's reproduction of it in the 1960's. Johnson Brothers also made this shape but it is less plentiful.

Teh basic square shape is softened by a slight flare to the waist and the inward curve of the ribbing which extends to the bracket feet. The bracket handle is also slightly curved.

A lovely body with an unusually tapered base - made to look even more tapered by veritical ribbing.  

The Johnson Brothes became the proprietors of the J. W. Pankhurst potter works at Hanley in 1883. Thus, the same body styles may be found with either a late Pankhurst mark or the Johnson Brothers' arms mark.

Rosetta is a bulbous round body style with simple lines. The rosette embossing on the handles of hollowware pieces is characteristic of Johnson Brothers. It is also found on some Wedgwood products which are similarly styled. On Pankhurst hollowware pieces the finials may be mushroom shaped. 

Primary is a generic name for several different body styles of the mid-19th century. There are many variations of this basic shape.

Some have uninterrupted vertical panels as in the Jacob Furnival child's pieces. Others may have a single straight line at the waist, or several lines belting the waist; diamond-styled vertical panels; or split vertical panels.

This early bulbous style is divided into six sections by ridged lines which are extended above the neck to form heart shapes. Note that Livesley and Powell pieces have a mushroom finial while Jacob Furnival pieces sport a conical knob finial.

Registered in 1853.

This body style can have a varying number of sides (6, 8, 10, etc.). It is very plain without embossing of any kind.

Jacob Furnival's Wheat features wheat stalks embossed at the neck and curved gracefully upward from the lower handle terminals. Cinquefoil borders can be found on covered serving pieces while central cinquefoil motifs may be seen on other pieces.

An early octagonal body style produced by Jacob Furnival, it is rarely found with copper lustre banding. The basic Gothic lines are interrupted by the wide vertical panels at the lower section of the body. The only embossing is found at the handle terminals where elaborate foilage relieves the plain lines of the style.

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.
