Caliph is remindful of Persian Rose, 4040, it has a similar colour
palette and the same glaze. Yet despite the similarities it was still a
design with good sales. Its main distinctive feature
compared with Persian Rose is that the design is pictorial rather than
having circular symmetry for the chargers and this probably accounts for
the relatively large proportion of chargers found with
this pattern.
There is a standard layout for the flower head colours on 12", 14" and 17" chargers. This arrangement is the one on the larger of the two chargers in the picture. About 10% of chargers are done by "maverick" paintresses who have done their own arrangement or made a mistake.
Only one example has been seen with the AGR7 style backstamp which suggests that production of this design had effectively ceased by 1940.
