Notes

Many of the pots recorded for pattern A8447 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 last image is of a breakfast-in-bed set: see the website section Ware Suppliers, Futura Art Pottery for more information on these sets.

This pattern was previously recorded as A8443, because the number on some pots appears to have a ‘3’ as the last digit. As is often mentioned on this website, these hand-painted numbers are often notoriously difficult to decipher because they were applied with speed and not-necessarily accurately. A8443 may prove to be a valid pattern number for a design more purple in its lustre colour than BC (bronze/carmine).
