Pattern Name: The name Basket is used by Bumpus but the origin is unknown, probably simply a reference to the design.
A simple design using a flower basket motif that was widely used for
ceramic design in the first half of the 20th century. No examples have
been seen that would indicate production continued after
Charlotte had left the company or after the wartime restrictions on
decorated pottery were introduced.
In fact Charlotte is recycling her own design here, pattern 268 from when she worked for Wood & Sons Bursley Ltd which incorporates a similar tube-lined basket and is illustrated in Collecting Rhead Pottery by Bernard Bumpus.
