Copeland Spode Ceramic Bread and Butter Plates in "Buttercup" Pattern, Set of 11

About the Item

A set of 11 bread and butter plates by Copeland for Spode. This set features 11 round plates with a yellow, blue, and green floral pattern on a cream background. A basketweave design surrounds the rim, while the edges are scalloped. Three of the plates are slightly different than the other 8, as they feature a slightly curled up edge, with a small scallop texture in the middle. The earliest record of Buttercup is hand-painted on bone china in 1885. It is thought to have been designed by Francis Xavier Abrahams, who worked at Copeland's between 1882 and 1902 and was for a short time Art Director. Following the engraving of a copper plate for printing, Buttercup appeared in its popular form on earthenware and on the Chelsea Wicker shape. A different version known as Mandalay was produced in reds and browns, while Primose featured blues. The pattern was also produced using the name Wicker Dell from 1962 to 1964. Plates Marked 2/7873 Copeland Spode England Buttercup Dimensions: 5.5" diameter .75" tall.
