Wedgwood’s 1878 Illustrated Catalogue of Ornamental Shapes [fig. 1] illustrated under the heading of ‘Comports’ the various shells that comprised the forms of its ‘Wreathed Shell’ dessert service. Initiated in creamware circa 1790-1795, the service proved most popular. It was reworked in the 19th century so that the forms were more conchologically accurate and produced throught that century in a variety of bodies including pearlware, white ware, Majolica, and moonlight lustre.
