Notes

The second image shown here, taken from a company information photograph, was used for an advertisement which appeared regularly in Pottery and Glass from May 1950 to January 1952 (see the Adverts section).
The label on the back of the photograph reads in full:

PATT NO. A.8667. APPLIQUE FLORAL DESIGN: – BACKGROUND IN SILVER LUSTRE. FLOWER ENAMELLED IN LILAC, LEAVES IN GREEN. FOOT LINE IN SILVER.

PATT NO. A.8671. DESIGN IN RESIST SILVER LUSTRE, BACKGROUND ‘PHEASANT’ TRACED AFTERWARDS IN SILVER: HANDLES SOLID.
The jug, centre right in the photograph, is the example of both A8667 and A8668.

Over the life of the company, Gray’s Pottery produced a wide range of resist lustre designs (see the website section Patterns, Classification, Lustre, Copper lustre).
The 1926 pattern number 7252 is an example of an early silver resist pattern and A8667 continues the tradition, with the addition of some enamel colour, in this case lilac and green.
Several silver resist patterns were duplicated in copper/bronze lustre: for A8667 it was A8668, but with red instead of lilac.

The egg-shaped box was used for several patterns, including A9039, a 1951 Festival of Britain lustre pattern.
