| Pattern 4088 Patch |
Following on from the success of the colourful Patch (4015), this
version in neutral earth colours was a big seller and seems to have
easily outsold its brighter coloured predecessor. Whether this
is due to the fashion of the day or cost is unknown but its popularity
would probably be in part due to it being priced to tempt buyers unable
to afford the more complex patterns. Production was
confined to period 2. Except for the occasional charger. Table
lamps have 1920's or AGR8 mark becasue of size restrictions on the
shapes. Very few examples have been seen on the new shapes
introduced in 1936 and so the bulk of production probably occurred in
1935 and early 1936.
There is a standard sequence for the colouring of the patches, but there are variations, whether by design or error. Often the primrose and green colours are not applied, and another variation observed is the brown border lustre replaced by a pearlescent pink.
