  • This Pattern is Difficult to Identify.  Originals are finely stippled, and have a high relief to the leaves and flowers.
  • Reproductions are poorly molded, lack the crisp details of Originals, the stippling is poor and these examples are often much heavier in weight.

 

  • Original colours are soft, while the reproduction colours tend to be strong and harsh.

 

  • The variety of tableware made both originally and in the reproduction period is extensive, as well as the available colours in each of the periods.
