Hankow

This attractive blue and white pattern with a basketweave border design dates from 1926, and was produced throughout the 1930s. Designed by Frederick Rhead, it shows a distinctive Danish or 'Copenhagen' influence.

Items generally have Wood's 'King' mark, but if destined to be sold in Lawleys chain of shops feature LAWLEYS' mark instead. Both versions were made by Woods and are identical apart from the different backstamp.

Other 1930s Woods patterns with a similar basketweave border include:

• Vincent - a slightly brighter blue (no central design)
• Hankow - in green (central design similar to WILLOW pattern)

A green Hankow plate is shown right, next to a SANDOWN plate for comparison.
