Notes: The pattern has a subdued mint green background with bright pastel vines, acanthus leaves and flowers in the border design that covers the rim. It is surrounded on each side by a narrow white space and then a thin line in a slightly darker mint or sage green.

Similar to the Manhattan pattern made by Buffalo China for United States Lines, this pattern has the notable absence of torches spaced at intervals around the design, and the pattern used by the shipping company seems to have been consistently backstamped for the lines, too.
