As with the geometric
patterns above, the first appearance of simple "sprig"
patterns on vases at Poole predate the introduction of the elaborate
designs. However, the examples shown here are from the 1930's and
similar sprig decorations were still in use on vases and tableware over
30 years later.

V Pattern, AKA Leo the Lion, due to the appearance
of the cheeky chappie with the rather psychedelic blue mane in place of
the blue flower. Several other Truda Carter patterns also have acronyms
that refer to the pictographic ambiguity within the designs.

Traditional Poole Pottery was in the main
decorated with geometric shapes and abstract Floral patterns.
Birds of several different kinds and rather grand deer. Lower down
the food chain, the FL pattern coffee can and egg cup above feature
a blue and yellow slug, with a (possibly half eaten) cubist/split image abstract flower.
