Copper Lustre

Double bands surround the loops of this body. 

Panache is a fitting name for a body style that is splashed with glittering copper lustre. The plates sport embossing with swirling copper lustred lines. The Beardmore & Dawson firm was only in business for four months. There were other Beardmore partnerships, but the B & D mark is very rare indeed.

Registered in 1863.

This body stryle uses copper lustre to highlight the stems and fruits in this stunning design. Jean Wtherbee attributed this body style to J. F. Barrow and Company.

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.

Corn's Square Ridged can be distinguished by its odd shape and scalloped rim. The somewhat facetious nickname "Square Pear" is based on the very wide lower section of the body. The body flares from a relatively narrow collar to a low waist with a narrow band of ribbing below. The bud-less gold or copper lustre motif is reminiscent of Davenport's Tea Leaf. Shaving mugs follow conventional lines but have a band of ribbing near the base. The gold lustre cloverleaf is an unusual adaptation on an ironstone body style.

This body style is nick named "Grape and Medallion." It was produced extensively in white ironstone by E & C Challinor. The plate rim features an embossed outer chain from which grape leaves are suspended.
