Magnolia vs. Dogwood

Dogwood flowers are small clusters surrounded by FOUR large “showy bracts” which are mistaken as petals In contrast, Magnolia blossoms generally have more than four “petals” HLC, TS&T and other companies used both Magnolia and Dogwood decals in the 1940s and 1950s. These treatments are often misidentified mainly becuase some sellers don't know the difference between the two blossoms. “Magnolia” on Eggshell “Dogwood” on Swing Here is a close-up of a treatment commonly found on the Liberty shape. Most people know this as Dogwood, but the treatment more resembles a tulip Magnolia.

Ferndale vs. Countess

Ferndale and Countess are two similar but distinct floral decal treatments which appear on both Georgian Eggshell and Nautilus Eggshell. Countess appears on Georgian. Ferndale appears on Nautilus Eggshell, but when on Georgian, its called, “Cashmere” The major difference between these two treatments is: Ferndale/Cashmere has small blue flowers within the sprigs. Countess/Darcy does NOT have these blue flowers. “Ferndale” 6” plates Courtesy: J. Stout, or-e-gun ”Countess” 8” plate ”Ferndale” ”Countess”
