Wood & Sons China
« on: Monday 12 September 16 20:32 BST (UK) »
I have a three piece set (ginger jar and two vases -my descriptions) made by Wood & Sons China in the Chung Pattern (blue and white).  They are of no particular value, however I would very much like to learn more about the company and where my grandmother may have purchased (England or Canada).

My grandmother was born abt 1881 Tilehurst, Berkshire.  She immigrated to Canada in 1911 and the US in 1923.

Somewhere along the way she purchased the china which I have and will pass along.

Any thoughts on where to look for more info on these pieces?

Thanks,
Bob
