[DSN:119, NS:RET]
- First appeared on Georgian Eggshell, circa 1940:
- G-3370: ivory rim extending from the verge to the embossing with gold colored lines
- G-3432: ivory rim extending from the verge to the edge with inner gold colored line and bright gold trim
- G-3370 was discontinued early, but G-3432 was produced longer and sold as "Countess"
- G-3556: gold trim
- Kwaker: ivory rim K-8124, sold as "Darcy"

- Other potteries in the East Liverpool area also used this decal
This decal is often confused with Ferndale and Cashmere. The main difference is Ferndale/Cashmere has little blue flowers, whereas Countess/Darcy does not. See the table below for comparisons, or visit the Ferndale/Cashmere page here.
