Wedgwood Etruria Transferware, Chinese Pattern Sugar Bowl
Hello! I found this lovely blue and white Wedgwood Etruria sugar bowl in an antique store. As seen in photo, it has a nibble on lid rim and a little mark on one knob handle. Otherwise very nice condition. I haven't even washed it yet because I'm so new at this and don't want to damage it! After days of research online, I can't find but a few small plates in this pattern and no other pieces. Was the Chinese pattern unpopular I wonder? Any information about this and other pieces in the Chinese pattern would be so appreciated.

This looks like the work of artist Eric Ravilious. He worked for Wedgewood between 1936-1940. His work included commemorative wares, dinner and tea wares, and nursery ware. He died in active service during WWII 1942.

The Chinese pattern first appeared about 1910 and was made right through the 1930's as far as I know. Most of it was made for the Export market in North America, produced in huge numbers, values fro it last peaked in the early 1990's and has declined since then.
