Wood & Sons Stoke on Trent

An 11" high double-gourd vase in the "Chung" pattern, designed by Frederick Rhead.
Rd No for 1914. Wood's used several exclusive retailers marks on their wares,
This one shows "L & Co", although undocumented, I would be pretty sure it was made
for Liberty & Co.

I've just seen this post. This is a 1980's repro of an earlier piece as the base mark was used in the 1980's and has the word repro impressed on the base

Some of my collection of Wood's "Prunus", designed by Frederick Rhead,
(Charlottes's father) in the 1920s, with it's own unique backstamp.
Later copied by Burleigh as "Calico".

I like the prunus pattern. I thought you might like to see my prunus pattern with a different colourway

oh, never see another colourway, always assumed it was only blue and white.

Yeah I was surprised when I saw it in a charity shop. Although it has a chip on the rim and no lid I just had to have it

It may be a "Ginger jar vase" as the pattern goes all the way up to the rim.
I'll dig mine out sometime and check.

I would be confident it is a vase. I have one of each. The vase has more of a rim,
and the decoration is complete. Compare to my ginger-jar, a lower rim and
incomplete decoration.

13" platter from the 'Enoch Wood's English Scenery' range.

Woods Ivory Ware breakfast / tea-for-two set dating from thes1930s. The style is vaguely art deco, but probably designed to appeal to a wider audience. The pieces are quite small, not that much bigger than a child's set, really.
Quite hard to see in the last picture, the plate has an impressed pattern number "W432".
I have owned and occasionally used this set for over thirty years. In all that time I have seen individual pieces here and there but have not seen another full set. The one piece I have never seen another of is the fitted tray.
Now I've said that, somebody is bound to post a picture of a pile of them
