Bristol & Papyrus
I have some of this pattern, one is from Kelston Potteries called Bristol 492, and one from Kelston Ceramics called Papyrus D666
and both are exactly the same pattern...

Re: Bristol Pat. No. 492 and Papyrus d666
So it appears that the same pattern with a [slightly] different backstamp, is enough reason for a totally different pattern name and number!!!
Probably were sold at different outlets .....?
Also the Pat.No. and the d number usage are from two different timeframes.

I have a bristol 492 bread and butter plate (exact backstamp as above), which is a butterscotch sort of colour in the central well (white rim) of an apollo shape plate....

It has the same name and number as the usual Bristol Janice.
Perhaps this came in several colours as did several other patterns?

Put groceries on top of it in car, just not being careful, its a shame as i think its much nicer than the green orange mix.
