A further complete article, a shaped-edged spoontray, has a clear incised cross on the underside, affording further proof that the incised cross marks were workmen's signs rather than factory marks and that they can occur on practically any eighteenth-century porcelain.
This is the orthodox shape of spoontray at Worcester, introduced in about 1756 and continuing into the 1780s. From the early 1770s onwards, the standard lobed spoontray tends to have more steeply angled sides and becomes slightly larger in size. A lozenge-shaped spoontray was introduced from about 1760 to 1765 but this seems to have been only in conjunction with moulded patterns, cf. No.84.
Among shapes so far discovered are teapots, mugs, jugs, coffee cups, bowls, plates, sauceboats and a spoontray.
