Jasmine pattern was first introduced in about 1825 in a plain blue transfer print. Other versions were produced including 4540 which was 'washed' over in orange and 4541 washed over in blue. These appeared in c1829. Another version with pattern number recorded is B118 of c1826 which is printed in blue and painted in orange and blue all underglaze. Jasmine was produced on Gadroon shape.
The pattern takes its name from the stylised jasmine entwined around the centre pattern of large flowers and the same jasmine is also in the border. A Jasmine border design (ie no centre) was registered with the British Patent Office on 4th August 1852 with registered number 86071.
The pattern was also known as Jessamine and is recorded in the archive under both names.
In 1996 Jasmine was reintroduced as part of the Blue Room Collection as one of six Regency Dresser Plates and in the early 2000s as part of the special Signature range of pieces.
