Poole Pottery "September/Summer Glory (Compact)"

Poole Pottery September, also known as Summer Glory Compact, is the later version of Poole’s much-loved Summer Glory design. Officially called September, it is often recognised by collectors and customers as the Compact shape version of Poole Pottery Summer Glory, with the familiar warm floral decoration adapted for a different tableware shape.

The original Summer Glory pattern was produced on a lighter, more traditional tableware shape, while September uses the Compact shape associated with a number of Poole designs from the 1970s and later. The background chosen for September is the lighter Lakestone glaze, which gives the warm brown, orange and yellow floral decoration a softer, brighter setting.

Because September is so closely related to Summer Glory, the two names are sometimes used interchangeably. For matching purposes, however, they should be treated as separate ranges. The shape, glaze tone and body are different, so a September piece will not usually sit exactly the same as an earlier Summer Glory piece, even though the decoration is closely related.

Customers looking for Poole Pottery September replacement china are often trying to replace a broken plate, bowl or mug, complete a Compact shape set, or add pieces that match a later Summer Glory style service. Availability can vary, as our stock depends on what becomes available through the pre-loved market.

When matching September, it is worth checking the Compact shape, the lighter Lakestone background and the specific piece size.
