Taylor, Smith & Taylor introduced the Plymouth shape in 1937. Based on the amount of advertising and promotions during its release, it is clear TS&T intended this to be their principal line of dinnerware. Unfortunately, the line as not a huge success and was overshadowed the with the introduction of the popular Empire shape.
Plymouth is a rimless shape - one of the very few coupe shapes available to the public in the 1930s. A gadroon embossing was modeled along the rim as well as on the finials and handles. Each piece of hollowware was modeled with a pronounced foot and a beaded edge towards the bottom.
Plymouth was the first TS&T shape not to have oval platters. Instead, there were three sizes of round chop plates with tab handles.
Plymouth was decorated in four major forms: ivory glaze with decals, Rose Mist (pink colored clay) - plain or with decals, underglaze transfer decorations,
and in the four Lu-Ray glazes.
The pastel glazed pieces were marked Insterstate Sunrise Ware with no mention of the TS&T.
With the exception of Interstate Sunrise Ware, Plymouth can be found with the TST wreath backstamp and date code. In many cases, the special "Premier" decal marking was also used.
