Sprig moulds with intaglio designs were made from master moulds with the design in relief. The intaglio moulds were used to make relief sprigs which were applied to formed pots, such as teapots. At the Leeds Pottery these were mainly black basalt (a type of stoneware) but they could also be used for creamware. The largest collection of these sprig moulds from the Leeds Pottery site is at Temple Newsam House, near Leeds.
