Woods - Tsing

It features a selection of seated or standing Geisha girls in exotic costumes, with Bonsai trees in pots nearby.

In a similar fashion to Woods YUAN pattern, the design varies according to the size of the item, making it a fascinating pattern to collect - note the range of different women and trees in the photos below...

In common with many other Woods patterns, there also exist hand-coloured versions, not only over the blue transfer but occasionally on a brown one.

All items have the "urn" mark, used until c. 1930 (shown right).
