The borders included Wild Rose on Newport shape c. 1920s and 30s, Pattern #2787 Trillium and Berries on Newport shape c. 1948-69 the only time this border is known to have been used and pattern #3191 Laurel (moulded and undecorated) on Laurel shape c. 1969-82. The whole series of prints were done with each of the first two borders. Fewer prints such as the Bird of Washington, Canada Goose, Canvas Back Duck, Long-billed Curlew, Ruffed Grouse and Wild Turkey were available with the laurel border.
