Fern pot.  If there is a design reference at all it could just as well be to classical forms as to any Victorian design theory.
Cache pot (?), one of a set of four with one large and three smaller pots.  Angeline Johnson suggests that this set may have been part of an epergne.
Brass candlestick, with hammered base.

Crumb tray and brush in copper.  Presumably Loveridge, like Sankey and Beldray, made a variety of crumb tray designs and a smaller variety of brush designs.  The customers would select whatever they thought most suitable.  And brushes and trays would be sold separately.
Brass crumb scoop with turned ebonised handle.  A similar Loveridge crumb scoop with a very deeply cranked handle has also been seen.
Copper crumb scoop with textured finish and turned ebonised handle.
Brass crumb scoop with turned ebonised handle.  The pattern of leaves runs under the handle and is rather crudely executed.

Food warmer or hotplate in brass and copper, with hammered finish in a reserve.  The top tray is designed to clip on and off the stand.  Under the top tray the stand carries a sheet metal heat spreader above the spirit lamp.
Food warmer or hotplate in brass and copper, with hammered finish in a reserve. The spirit lamp holder has holes in it suggesting that a trivet, possibly with a flame spreader, is missing from this example.
Brass box with cast brass feet.  Sold as a salt box but Angeline Johnson suggests it may be a tea caddy or a sugar boat.

Copper tea caddy.  The beads seem to be typical Loveridge design features.
Brass container with cast brass finial, beaten finish and exposed rivets.  Exposed rivets are said to be a Dresser design feature.  It might also be said that they are a Loveridge design feature.

Coal box in brass with tinplate insert.  The box and its shovel have handles of ebony (not ebonised wood).  The mark is on a circular tin plate fixed to the underside of the box lid.
