B for Bedroom

I love the simplicity of this CV pattern candlestick.  It was thrown from a grey stoneware in 1921 or '22 and has a painters mark CT or GT and pattern number is B268.  I learned only recently that the letter prefix to these early pattern numbers are thought to refer to the ultimate destination of the pottery, A for Architectural, D for decorative, T for tableware and B for bedroom.

      Hi BT, The info was hidden away at the back of the Haward and Atterbury Poole Pottery book. I'd not taken notice of it previously, but had seen a few vases with the D before the shape number and wondered myself what it meant.
