Arthur Wood

[tony]

I was recently helping my fiancee go through some china that was her grandparents and came across a teapot/coffee pot whichever. I can't seem to find out anything about it other than the following: on the bottom: (printed in green ink) Arthur Wood England, (printed in gold) DONEGAL. It has gold trim with pink flowers, white flowers and tan leaves. I have pictures readily available if anyone can tell me about this pot. Thanks,
Tony

Yeah, that was as much as I found about Arthur Wood, lol. I just can't seem to find out any information about the DONEGAL collection.
