Caliph

Although similar to Prunus, this is a more complex design with a network of veins and stems behind the flower heads. It is one of a number of Frederick Rhead designs manufactured for WOOLWORTHS and bears their mark rather than the WOODS one. If only one could buy such items in today's store!

Ming

A Woods tableware design manufactured for WOOLWORTHS, and not easily found these days. It features a Chinese landscape with figures on a boat, a bridge, etc, and is very reminiscent of Rhead's Kang-Hi pattern. See Bumpus, p 29.
