Bath

Named for the finials, this late Wilkinson body style has bulbous sides and a nicely shaped base. Its simple lines and forthright design combined with the distinctive finials and handles that resemble sunbursts make it very appealing.

Holloware pieces in Maidenhair Fern feature embossed fern designs at the handle terminals. The same embossing is found at the strap finials. Although basically a rectangular shape, it is softly rounded. Tea service pieces and pitchers have scalloped rims above a very pronounced neck. They are very high waisted, then taper to a scallopd base. Note that some bath pieces have a roiund footprint.

Wedgwood's Simple Square demonstrates a simple style with a recessed base and straight, tapered sides. The sides of the covered dishes taper gradually to a flat base while pitcher sides flare to a low waist, then indent sharply to the base. Note that some bath pieces may have a round footprint.

A body style developed by Vodrey & Brother Pottery, Ursilla features a round footprint with scrolling embossing on the throats of pieces such as shaving mugs.

The body is smooth and free of embossing.  The base is very round.  The neck is ruffled.

The body style is identified by the ribbing around its neck. Pieces have a round waist, modified bracket handles and ribbed neck embossing.

This is a body style featuring a smooth collar without any ribbing or embossing and sporting either no distinct spout or a non-flaring spout formed as part of the collar and not reaching upwards above the collar rim.

A charming variation of the Plain Round styles of the 1870's, Anthony Shaw used lavish copper lustre decoration at the handles and finial surrounds. The uplifted handles are molded with a tied bow seen both on sugar bowls and on pickle/relish dishes. The medallion arch typ[e finial seems out of keeping with this style of handles. Creamers have a slightly scalloped rim and high spout, very similar to Shaw's Cable and Ring body style.

A late Shaw body style on a semi-porcelain blank, which is creamy in color. It is characterized by the outline of a shield created by the vertical ridges. The backstamp is in brown ink. Registered in 1889.

Niagara Fan is thought to be one of the first body styles decorated with the traditional Tea Leaf motif. The fan designs at the junction of each ridged section resemble Walley's Niagara Shape, thus the name, Niagara Fan.

Note that on Niagara Fan there are four flutes in the design, whereas Niagara Shape has five.  Also, the Shaw decoration extends al the way to the neck on teapots, etc.  The Walley design terminates at a decorative band that surrounds the neck.

Registered in 1856.
