Trellis is the only tube-lined design for fancies in the pattern
book that has a dated entry. At the top of the page there is written
“Jan 1940” and this is believed to be contemporary with the
pattern description. This pattern was immensely popular, ranked tenth
and yet introduced only 30 months before the restrictions on decorated
pottery were implemented. There is evidence from certain
base markings and item shapes that possibly 8% of examples may have been
made after Charlotte had left the company and possibly until the end of
the 1940s.
The glaze is a colour variation of Charlotte's well known greystone glaze used for Patch, Blue Peony, Persian Rose and Caliph. Although Trellis is the only tube-lined pattern with the brownstone glaze, Richardson's used it in conjunction with designs using transfers of small flowers, both on fancies and the Gordon shaped tableware at about the same time.
Variations in the design are rare. There is the difficult to find
yellow version but that has its own pattern number of 6017. Pictured
here is a variation with a matt mottled brown glaze and more
earthy coloured enamels.
