WOOD & SONS - Old Bow Kakiyemon

This delicate BLUE & WHITE pattern features two small quails under a stylised tree with parasol-shaped blossoms. It was directly inspired by Japanese Kakiyemon pottery, and was designed by FREDERICK RHEAD (father of Charlotte) when he was art director of Wood & Sons (1912-30).

Notice the distinctive octagonal shapes of the cup and plate which are the same as other Woods patterns such as ALVA, TSING and WESTOVER (qv).

OLD BOW KAKIYEMON dates from 1922+
