Notes
If the amount of A8321 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 both useful and ornamental ware such as tea and coffee ware, jugs of various shapes, plates of various shapes, comports, bowls and breakfast-in-bed sets.
Many of the pots recorded have been in North America, undoubtedly a reflection of the influence of the British government’s introduction of regulations concerning decorated pottery during the Second World War: the manufacture of decorated pots for the Home market was largely forbidden in order to encourage and develop export sales.
The small jug in the sixth image was known as a ‘Castle’ jug at Gray’s Pottery: see the website section Retailers, North America – USA, Skinners for more information on these jugs.
The last image is of a breakfast-in-bed set: see the website section Ware Suppliers, Futura Art Pottery for more information on these sets.
