Purple lustre
This generic colour may have been one of the first to register in AE Gray's mind during his regular visits to see the ceramics at Manchester's Art Gallery in the 1880s and 90s. Early examples of Gray's Pottery pink/purple lustre exist marked with backstamp B, indicating production during the first fifteen years of the company's existence. This may have been the pre-curser to the wide range of colours developed, culminating in Gloria Lustre.
