Woods - Danbury |
||
This delightful pattern from c. 1930 features a BLACK transfer floral design on a creamy coloured glaze, with hand-painted brightly coloured enamels in red, yellow, green and blue. A very similar design is Woods' Norbury pattern, also from 1930 - the photo (right) shows two creamers for comparison - Danbury is on the left. |

| These items shown above are in the elegant "Spencer" shape, also found in Woods' Manchu, Yo-San and Stafford patterns. Note the distinctive red trim near the handles and spouts. | ||
Both patterns are clearly influenced by Coalport's Canton pattern, which dates from the same period - the photo right shows a Coalport Canton dinner plate and gravy boat with a Danbury creamer on the left for comparison. Note the intricately detailed black border on all three designs, the similar flowers and identical colouring - the main difference being that the Coalport design also includes a pagoda. Danbury items can occasionally be found with a greeny-coloured glaze in place of the creamy one, with the Vert-de-Mer logo included in the backstamp. A plate of this kind is shown below. |

A rarely-seen Woods shape. Despite crazing and signs of wear, an extremely attractive item, showing the distinctive hand-painted red trim on the handles characteristic of this pattern. |
