Copper Lustre

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.

Little Cable is a square shape with a simple cable design without the ring. The pyramidal finial is square with lines radiating from the apex, circus-tent fashion. These lines are repeated on handles, spouts and throats of pitchers.

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.

A close relative of the Gothic body styles, Panelled Decagon was potted by Elsmore & Forster. The ten panelled plates and flatware sport a scalloped rim that defines the ten-panelled flange. Covered pieces bear a typical Gothic finial with lavish embossing on the finial surround - basically the only decoration on an otherwise plain body style.

John Edwards was provileged to use the three-plumed feather insignia of the Prince of Whales in his trademark, evidence of a visit to the pottery by that emminent gentleman, the future Edward VII. Dare we assume that Mr. Edwards honored that visit by naming his feather embossed body style "Peerless" in honor of the Prince?

Note: The impressed mark of this potter-named body style does not contain the word "Shape."

Registered in 1887.

Hearts and flowers are deeply sculpted on this 1860's shape by John Edwards. Since this potter often decorated his wares with theTea Leaf motif, it's quite reasonable that one day an example of Tuscan Shape with a Tea Leaf will surface. About 1867.

Royal Shape is a rare example of a body style that features a bulbous round body with embossed leaves at the upper handle terminal. Note that the impressed mark of this potter-named body style does not contain the word "Shape."

A bulbous base with a belt and buckle wrapped around it. The finial looks a lot like cable or a piece of rope.

The color of pale Baltic amber, Edge Malkin's elegant Tea Leaf ironstone would be at home at a palatial feast. There are two styles of tea services: one has a high domed lid and the other a flat lid. The finials of the sauce tureen and the rare lidded pancake server are truly regal.

This body style features bracket handles, pagoda finials and beading on the handles - hence the name!
