Donatello by Amston

Amston introduced Donatello in 1912. The pattern has a busy design on the terminal that resembles bunches of grapes or hanging leaves. Although the terminal indents in, it is edged with a design that fills in the dip. The stem is plain, there is a simple embellishment on the the top of the shoulder and the shoulders of the serving pieces are edged with a design. The pattern strikes me as more modern that its Edwardian years.

Wild Rose by Watson

Another pattern designed for Watson by  Eustace Crees & Charles S. Court, Wild Rose was introduced sometime between 1900 and 1905. This design is very much like their Orchid design for Watson. There is a wide open rose bloom on the terminal with a rose vine with leaves and buds gracefully trailing down the stem ending with three leaves delicately placed on the shoulder.

Orchid by Watson

Orchid was designed in 1903 by Eustace Crees and  Charles S. Court for Watson. These two designers also collaborated on the patterns Olympia and Altair for Watson. The design of the pieces in this pattern has the heavy embellishment of an orchid bloom on the terminal with crossed vines training gracefully  down the stem and crossing one last time at the top of the shoulder.
