In 1942 Charlotte Rhead left Crown Ducal (Richardson's) and began working for H. J. Wood Ltd until her death in 1947. Her designs for Wood's were marketed under the Bursley Ware label and a new backstamp credited Charlotte's productions. This mark continued for several years after her death as Woods continued to produce her designs. For more details see Premier Antiques
