WOOD & SONS - Aquila

Another very attractive blue and white design by Frederick Rhead, featuring a strikingly fierce eagle. There is also a RED version of this pattern. Most AQUILA items have the HH&G Toby Jug backstamp rather than a Woods mark, signifying they were made for the retailers HALES, HANCOCK & GODWIN. Items are occasionally found with the familiar Woods urn mark. The Reg No 718718 dates the AQUILA design to 1926+. AQUILA was produced in two versions:
Indented rim with ochre trim. This distinctive shape is also found on other Frederick Rhead patterns such as STANLEY and NILE.
Gadrooned rim (piecrust) without ochre trim. Examples of this can be found on the JUGS page (see below)
