Hugely Impressive 11 Double Gourd Vase From Wood and Sons Burslem under their Bursley Ware trade name.
The Vase is in the Red Pagoda Ware Pattern number 458 designed by Frederick Rhead during his time working for the factory as Art Director during the 1920-30s when daughter Charlotte also helped with designs for her father.
The design itself is of Pagodas, Birds and Oriental styles similar to those featured in Blue Willow designs. The images are of transfer ware, with bold black colouration and golden outlines set against a rich red background for a most striking effect.
The condition of the vase is EXCEPTIONAL given the items age. There are NO Chips, cracks or restoration and the only signs of crazing are a couple of lines on the underside near the backstamp.

The red background and the Pagoda design show vitually NO signs of ware at all right down to the Black mouth trim which has also survived almost entirely intact.
Probably just about as good as a piece of this age can be, the item is a wonderful example of Staffordshire pottery from one of its most celebrated and documented designers.
