Poole Pottery Twintone Pattern Codes

There is some discussion as to when Poole Pottery first introduced Twintone.

To the best of my knowledge the typical two colour ranges were first produced in the 1930's, but at that time they were not officially called Twintone. It appears that the term "Twintone" was probably first used when the range was reintroduced after the restrictions imposed during the Second World War.


As stated in an earlier blog, we tend to see only about half a dozen of these colour ranges on a regular basis, but there were in fact over 50 such colour ways produced. When seeking to identify a particular colour combination it is worth starting off by looking at our Poole Pottery gallery on Replace Your China. If that does not work, have a look at the base of all the pieces that you have. If you are lucky, you might just find a pattern code printed by Poole Pottery. The Twintone coded took the form of a letter and either two or three numerals. Over the years that we have been in business, we have constructed a list of those pattern codes, and reproduce it below for the assistance of collectors.

Although much of this information has been gleaned through nearly 20 years of dealing in Poole Pottery tableware, I must give credit to some of the information which I have gained from Leslie Hayward's excellent book, "Poole Pottery" published by Richard Dennis. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Poole Pottery and its history.

I hope that some of this information has been helpful and I will try to add to it in coming blogs.

Enjoy your tableware
