Brameld Pottery Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass

This is a dessert plate made by Spode in about 1822, which was the Regency era. The plate is made of Felspar porcelain and decorated with a beautiful hand painted landscape scene. The plate would have belonged to a large dessert service of which each piece had a unique landscape; in fact I sold a dessert service in this pattern a while ago. Spode was the great pioneer among the Georgian potters in England. Around the year 1800 he perfected the bone china recipe that has been used by British potters ever since, and he was also the leading potter behind the technique of transferware, making it possible for English potters to replace the Chinese export china...

This is beautiful square dessert plate made by Spode around the year 1824. The set was made in the famous Spode Felspar china, which was a bright porcelain that included felspar rock, making it exceptionally robust and very suitable for large table services. This plate was a spare of a large dessert service that was sold previously. An identical service is on display in the Spode Museum in Stoke on Trent, on the original place where this service was produced. In a wonderful moment of serendipity, I happened to be standing and admiring that service exactly the moment the service this plate belonged to came up for auction - and I won the bid, enabling me to present it here to you! Josiah Spode was the great pioneer among the 19th Century potters in England. Around the year 1800 he perfected the bone china recipe that has been used by everyone ever since, and he was also the leading potter behind perfecting the technique of transferware, making it possible for English potters to replace the Chinese export china, which had come to an end around that time, with their own. This was fundamental to a thriving industry that would last for about 150 years and provide half the world with their tableware. In the early 19th Century Spode also made this "Felspar" porcelain, which was even stronger thanks to a large percentage of the strong felspar rock in the recipe. In the early 19th Century, dinner and dessert services were an important part of the social life of the elite, and particularly the dessert service had to be stunning in order to leave guests with a lasting impression of the wealth and power of the owner. This plate is part of such a show piece. The plate has the printed Spode Felspar Porcelain mark in puce, as well as a hand painted pattern number 3765. CONDITION REPORT The plate is in good undamaged antique condition, with its only flaw being some wear as visible in the pictures. Antique British porcelain...
