Antique / vintage early Charlotte Rhead unusual mushroom shaped vase in the Arabesque pattern. Made by Wood''s, England. Measures approx 2 1/4 inches high and 6 1/4 inches in diameter. Highly unusual mushroom shape with a large well in the center. The vase sits directly on the neck, which forms the stalk of the mushroom and is hollowed out to form the well of the vase. The top curves gently downwards and is beautifully decorated with tubelined open flowers and buds in pinks, purples, blues with scrolling foliage in different shades of green. Background colour is a mottled oatmeal (cream and grey). A yellow band rings the inside of the well and the outer rim. The whole design is very finely tubelined in warm brown. Marked underneath the vase with the Wood & Sons logo. Charlotte Rhead worked there from 1912. The logo reads Wood''s England and the pattern, ARABESQUE with By Charlotte. Rhead under that in script. Very good condition. No chips/cracks/damage/restoration of any sort. I have been told that this piece dates to 1943-60.
