## Item Overview

Up for sale or purchase is a rare, beautifully structured geometric (hexagonal/octagonal) Sugar Bowl with matching Lid and Creamer Pitcher set by the historic English pottery house, Wood & Sons.

Designed by legendary ceramic artist Frederick Rhead, the \"Yuan\" pattern is heavily inspired by a 13th-century Chinese Yuan Dynasty plate in the British Museum. This set is a stunning representation of early 20th-century English Chinoiserie style.

## Rare Polychrome Colorway & Shape

While the standard Yuan pattern is strictly blue and white transferware, this particular set features the highly sought-after **Polychrome Enamel** finish. The traditional deep flowing blue transfer outlines are accented by gorgeous hand-painted enamel details, including a vibrant orange/yellow crest on the crane, pink and mauve floral blossoms, and multi-colored border detailing.

The pieces feature a sharp, angular geometric Art Deco silhouette rather than the common round variants, making this a highly collectible display pairing.
