Booths' most highly prized pattern is Scale Blue, an early C20th copy of the famous Worcester blue glaze featuring vignettes with exquisitely hand-painted birds and flowers. Now extremely hard to come by, it is much sought after by Booths connoisseurs.

The shapes of Scale Blue (and many other Booths) items are also modelled after the distinctive Worcester pattern - especially items such as jugs, bowls, teapots and coffee pots.

Not all Scale Blue items are marked - and other firms such as Crown Staffordshire produced similar patterns (which are marked). Once seen, the Booths version is unmistakable.

Other related patterns include Mosaic Panel, which features similar handpainted birds and flowers, and Scale Willow, which is like a combination of Scale Blue with Real Old Willow.
