Arthur Wood & Son Ltd. (Longport)

Think this is a string dispenser...and looks Hornsea(ish)...England on the base





Your advice please

I just found one similar, Arthur Wood, marked 5017

Bought this awhile ago...dont think i've posted it but then my memory is rubbish. Its about 12 inches...a strange "biomorphic " shape. Stamped Arthur Wood and 4114...is it 50's. The painting is very like Burleigh/Burgess and Leigh i've got

According to Goddens that particular mark was first introduced in 1954 :)

Thanks "Old Magpie"

Does anyone know the dates of these marks?

First one looks like 1954+ ... the other one has no date attached to it. For further details:

about 9 inches long...any help much appreciated

................. so it's Arthur Wood!

Believe it or not it is also a money box (slot on back and plastic corked hole on the underside) and Arthur Wood money boxes have a 4 figure code number.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

It might be the Arthur Wood & Son mark that was used from 1934 until after the War.

Sure that "Imari" style is earlier SP, but so many Staffs potteries used a crown,
it could be difficult without going through Goddens cover to cover.!

I know that the pattern isn't typical of that period but that's what the mark looks like to me.

Yes Enhanced the mark a bit now. It's not a crown, but a pennant. Could it read
"Quality" on the pennant? if so it could match the second mark down shown here:

The style still seems much earlier though.

yes they are Arthur Wood, I came across the exact same pots you have earlier this year

"Smoky" Cat Vase..Arthur Wood ..50's i would guess..Great decorations
