Long Description
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.

Re: Wedgwood Etruria Transferware, Chinese Pattern Sugar Bowl
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.
Re: Wedgwood Etruria Transferware, Chinese Pattern Sugar Bowl
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.
