Tube-lining: Blue
Enamels: Goods blue, Baines pink, Baines purple, Cairo green, Harrisons orange & Turkish blue
Glaze: Grey heliotrope spot
Frequency Ranking: 26/50
Design Date: Early 1936
Production Period: 1936 - 1938
Pattern Name: Authors invention
This cheerful pattern would appear to be the winner from a cluster of designs that Charlotte created at this time to find her next “Stitch” or “Patch”, a tube-lined design that could be made to sell at a keen price. Like the other simple designs using mostly tube-lined dots and relatively little line work, this pattern is rarely signed, although examples do exist.
The other contenders for a simple pattern are Snowdrops, (4519), which is harder to find and patterns 4520, 4533 and 4536, none of which have yet been seen.

Pattern 4521 Posy |
Charlotte must have been fond this design because there is a cluster
of variations recorded in the pattern book all with their own numbers,
(4528, 4529, 4530 & 4531), as well as several
unrecorded colour variations. There is even a version of 4521 in the
same colours but without the tube-lining, (4619), which must have been
the cheapest of all these productions. However, 4521 in
blue was the only one that appears to have been commercially successful.
There are two examples of variations shown on George Conners website which has now been archived https://web.archive.org/web/20101112194205/http://charlotterhead.jimdo.com:80/crown_ducal.php Follow the link and scroll down to pattern 4521 to see the two Posy pattern vases in brown/orange/beige colours.
Despite there being several variations of the Posy design with their own pattern numbers, there are others with colours, glazes and line work which do not fit the pattern book descriptions. Two examples are illustrated below.
