Overlapping the end of the Baroque Period were the reigns of the English kings George I and George II. This Georgian Period in English design moved from the painters' influence (who were cramming seasonal flowers and branches into urns) toward the classical work of such artisans as ceramics maker Wedgwood and cabinetmakers Chippendale and Heppelwhite. Trade with China also introduced new materials to modify the formal Baroque style on the continent. Triangular designs were developed, some based on only a single color or just a single flower type - a major break from the lavish style on the continent. Another design innovation during this time was the tuzzy-muzzy, or nosegay, originally as an accessory for fashionable women and later placed in bowls on the table in the first use of table centerpieces as we consider them today.
