The Wood family
of Staffordshire have a history of pottery making over hundreds
of years, and the present company dates from around 1884 and is
still on the original site at the Bradwell Works in Longport.

Arthur Wood made his name originally with earthenware teapots but
in the early 1920's expanded the product range with rose-bowls and
vases. Throughout the 1950's a contemporary range of bowls, vases,
jugs and tankards were introduced.

In
the 1960's and 1970's the firm developed a range of hollowware,
including cups, mugs, piggy banks, plant pots, vases and the like.
In 1967 Arthur Wood had acquired Carlton
Ware and continued to produce its traditional tea and coffee
sets and fancy tableware until selling it in 1987. The Price
& Kensington pottery was also part of the Arthur Wood group,
the Price Pottery having merged in the early 1950's before merging
with the Kensington Pottery to form Price and Kensington.

Wood piggy banks are extremely appealing - from the more traditional
pigs, to the more flamboyant and colourful as shown in the photographs.
They include a wonderful variety of colours and shapes and are keenly
collected. Arthur Wood piggy banks have a four figure number stamped
underneath which indicates the pattern/colour scheme, rather than
the shape or size.
