It appears from an order of 21 December 1805 that there were two patterns, 'Bamboo' and 'New Chinese pattern with Urn', as the order was for either one or the other. A further order for the same client was for a 'Table Services of blue printed ware of your new pattern with the Chinese figure in the centre.' (Wedgwood archives L.73.12521 and 12523). The pattern is also referred to in E.13.12788.The body used for underglaze blue decoration was similar, but not identical, to Wedg-wood's 'Pearl' body.The dish is approximately Queen's ware Shape 246, Root Dish or Cover dishes.

For the introduction of this pattern,pp. 69-90, illustrated pl. 11, fig. 1. See especially pp. 79-81. It appears from an order of 21 December 1805 that there were two patterns, 'Bamboo' and 'New Chinese pattern with Urn', as the order was for either one or the other. 'but more agreeable if part of both': a further order for the same client was for a 'Table Services of blue printed ware of your new pattern with the Chinese figure in the centre.' (L.73.12521 and 12523). Thomas Byerley wrote to Gunville on 8 October 1805, stating that Brookes (William of Hanley) or Garard could engrave the service separately in time so both were doing it, starting afresh 'for Brookes when he made his drawings had so much improved the pattern, and so much better adapted it for effect that I thought it best to sacrifice one dish which Garard had finished. Brookes has succeeded in making the Bamboo like the beautiful one on the China plate, and has so managed the light and dark parts on the border as to make it quite another thing . . . Brookes was highly pleased with the Bamboo pattern and says it is quite a new idea throughout - Shuffle has finished a plate and it is superb, he is charmed with it himself.'
