Primrose by Spode
First introduced in 1881, Primrose was one of the most widely sold patterns produced on the Chelsea Wicker shape. The earliest version was produced on bone china and printed in pink. The 1882 catalog shows Primrose also available in black, brown, blue or green. The pattern was discontinued on Chelsea shape around 1968. Primrose was introduced to the US market on the Lincoln shape in 1954. Lincoln was a modern style based on Chelsea shape. One of the patterns produced at this time featured Primrose printed in grey and then hand colored in green, yellow and grey.
Primrose is also a name of a pattern similar to the yellow Wicker Dell pattern except with blue as its primary color. It was produced from 1954 to 1969.
