Fine detail defines a classic British formula of flowers and fruit with a token bird perched near the top of the cluster. The border alternates fruit and floral clusters. The atypical white area is especially effective used with busier patterns.

We have noticed that in many cases one sees favorite formulas shared by china and fabric patterns. As late as the early 1980's we remember English polished chintzes with quaint romantic names like "Evanston" or "Rock Birds" using similar motifs.
