St. Louis by Watson

St. Louis introduced in 1904 by Watson is another Rococo style pattern with the swirls on the edges. Other patterns of this style that come to mind include  Kings Court by Frank Whiting, Junior Rococo by Mauser-Wendell, and Louis XV by Whiting.

Princess by Watson

Watson introduced its Princess pattern in 1908 and it should not be confused with the Princess Patterns by Shiebler, Stieff, or Towle that I have already posted on. These four patterns are so different. It is interesting to see how four designers with four companies had "Princess" in mind when they named each of these patterns. Although each is befitting of the name.
