Asiatic Pheasants

Asiatic Pheasants was a very popular pattern and thought to have been produced by around 60 North Staffordshire potters.

A number of examples exist with the initials M. W. & Co and these are attributed to Morgan Wood & Co who operated from 1857 to 1870.

At least one example is known with the initials M. W. - there is no other known manufacturer with these initials and so this is possibly Morgan and Wood.
