Very Rare Lovely Antique Arthur Wood Imari serving bowl & side dish c1934.
Gaudy Welsh first appeared in Staffordshire, England around the late 1820's. The main colours chosen for decoration were Orange,(dark and light) greens and cobalt blue, along with gold and pink lustre. The Welsh potteries who were in fierce competition with the Staffordshire potteries for the open market, were alarmed when large consignments of Gaudy Welsh appeared for sale in Welsh auctions. Swansea immediately followed suit and started to produce their own Gaudy Welsh. It was made in the Cambrian pottery under Lewis Llewellyn Dillwyn and also at the South Wales pottery or Llanelly pottery which started production in 1839.
They have the Arthur Woods mark beneath that was used for a short time from 1934.
The serving bowl is in very good condition.
Side dish is in good condition. As in the pictures it does have two chips on the back. But can not be seen from the front.
