A true BLUE & WHITE pattern which has the Reg No 623294 dating it to 1913+. The following inscription appears in a scroll on the base above William Adams' signature:

being a copy of a Chinese pattern & one of the first of its
style produced in English pottery.

Jug

Some CHINESE TRADERS items, like the following plates, feature a bird in some of the panels leading the pattern to be referred to frequently as CHINESE BIRD:

Teaplate

Twelve-sided

Impressed 1933

SOLD

Dessert plate

Not to be confused with Chinese Bird, mentioned above, this is another lovely BLUE & WHITE pattern with a pheasant perching on a branch, and flowers reminiscent of the Frederick Rhead designs for Wood & Sons, like YUAN, ORIENT or MAYFAIR.
