This elegant pattern is the work of Frederick Rhead or his associate Jack Butler, who succeeded him as Woods art director around 1929-30.

The blue transfer floral design is handpainted in subtle shades of bistre, purple and pink on a beautiful pale ivory glaze. This unusual and distinctive colourway is similar to that found in Woods' Soo-Chow pattern.

The pattern can be found with two marks - the typical WOODS 'figure with banner' mark, and the LAWLEYS mark, the London retailer that sold Woodsware in the 1930s from their Regent Street shop.
