Description: Wood & Sons 4 Plates 10 3/4" Ironstone Yellow Maroon Band Roses w/Gold 1907-1910 Exquisite Decorative SMOOTH RIM IRONSTONE Set of 4 DINNER PLATES from WOOD & SONS Ellgreave Pottery, Sherborne Pattern, FLORAL BOUQUET from Burslem, Staffordshire, England, circa 1907-1910 DESCRIPTION: The beautiful smooth rimmed set of 4 ironstone 10 3/4" dinner plates was produced in a striking multi-color palette on high white genuine ironstone. The floral bouquets look so bold with their vivid colors. The rim is beautifully trimmed in a gold as is the wide, vibrant maroon color band. CONDITION: While this set is classified as used, the condition is superb. There are no chips, nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches or hairlines. There are no utensil marks or wear to the gold. The only exception to this is the slight age appropriate crazing under the clear glaze. There is none of the usual light browning that is associated with this type of crazing. Please view the full frontal photos to see just how good these plates are. DIMENSIONS: The plates have a diameter of 10 3/4"" with a height of 15/16". HISTORY/MARKS: Absalom Wood established his business in 1865. Later, Absalom Wood and his son T. F. Wood established Wood & Son Pottery in Burslem, England in 1885. This changed to Wood & Sons in 1907, then Wood & Sons, Ltd in 1910. Harry F. Wood succeeded his father, T. F. Wood, as chairman in 1921 and under his management Wood & Sons Ltd became a large and successful earthenware manufacturer. Associated companies included H. J. Wood Ltd (at the Alexandra Pottery, Burslem), Bursley Ltd (later renamed Susie Cooper Pottery Co. Ltd, at the Crown Pottery, Burslem) and the Ellgreave Pottery Co. Ltd (Ellgreave St, Burslem). The business went into receivership in December 1981 and was sold to members of the Yorke family. Under its new owners, the business traded as Wood & Sons (1982) Ltd until its closure in 1995. The Wood & Sons mark was used 1907-1910. The source for this is Michael Perry’s A Handbook of British Pottery Manufacturers 1900-2010. This is also a slight variation of mark #4285 as cited in Geoffrey A. Godden’s Encyclopedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks which was used 1907-1910.
