The blue chequer version is more easy to find than the orange
colourway, but one thing in common with both patterns is the restricted
number of shapes used for Coronation Ware. Apart from the
usual chargers, only modern shapes were used for vases and jugs with no
shape number less than 192 seen. Also, mugs, beakers, ashtray sets and
small plates were very popular.
The key dates for estimating when production occurred for each cypher are that Edward became King on 20th January 1936, he abdicated on 11th December 1936 and the coronation of George was on 12th May 1937.
