Notes

If the amount of 4601 pattern pots seen at auction and on auction sites is anything to go by, this must have been a popular pattern. It has been recorded on a wide range of useful ware including jugs, fruit sets, lidded bowls, trays, preserve pots and cheese dishes, but no tea or coffee ware.

The yellow lustre colour on the lemons is known to fade to almost white, a not unusual occurrence (as often happens with blue enamel colour in Gray’s non-lustre pots of the 1920s and 30s).

4601 is a bold, distinctive pattern which extends within the fruit bowls as shown. From a practical point-of-view, this doesn’t quite fit with the information issued by Gray’s Pottery, probably from the 1950s, which doesn’t recommend lustre patterns for fruit sets …. !
