Patterns from these years
The Lacy Period predates the era that saw many tableware SETS such that many pieces would match in design elements.
    There were a few beginnings of patterns such as Gothic Arch, Peacock Feather, Rayed Peacock Eye and Ray where more than one piece would "match" each others design but these were the exception rather than the rule.
Acanthus Leaf & Shield ca 1830s is reportedly the only pattern of the lacy era made with a matching sugar & creamer. No other forms of the pattern are known.
