Historical background
These were produced in England by Enoch Wood & Sons, a large pottery operation located in Burslem, a town in the Staffordshire pottery district. The Wood firm exported a vast quantity of pottery to American in the 1820s and 1830s and a single shipment sent to a Philadelphia China broker contained some 262,000 pieces of pottery (see Geoffrey A Godden's Encyclopedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks published in 1964 by Bonanza Books, New York 1964 pg 686).
Source: The description above is drawn largely from the excellent one at Nancy's Daily Dish.
