- Oviform /ovoid - The outline loosely resembling the shape of an egg.
- Art Union of London - Art Unions were organisations that functioned to promote and fund works of art. The members would pay an annual subscription, which would be used to purchase works of art, and these would then be distributed among its members by means of a ballot.
The Art Union of London was established in 1837 and by the 1840s was distributing art to the value of £9,000 each year.
The works purchased ranged from paintings which had been exhibited at the Royal Academy and in galleries to prints and smaller pieces including commissioned Parian wares, medals and bronze statuettes.
The membership numbers of the Art Union of London remained strong until the 1890s when they began to decline, and the Union was wound up in 1912.
