This is a beautiful lidded sucrier made by Spode in or shortly after 1828. The sucrier is made in Felspar porcelain and has a beautifully moulded shape with a crown-like shaped finial. It is decorated in a pink and gilt harebell pattern. 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, which had come to an end around that time, with their own designs. This was fundamental to a thriving industry that would last for about 150 years and provide half the world with their tableware. Spode porcelain is regarded as one of the highest quality porcelains around; for a soft-paste porcelain it is surprisingly hard and fine, and has a wonderful bright white colour. This sucrier was potted in "Felspar" porcelain, which was a new recipe that Spode brought out in the early 1820s. Felspar porcelain is a little heavier than the normal bone china, but it is as strong and beautiful, and as it doesn't chip as easily it was very popular for tablewear. This sucrier is in a beautifully moulded shape that is clearly influenced by the Rococo Revival style, which became very fashionable around this time. On top of the cover sits a finial that looks like a crown; the handles are ribbon-like and there is surface moulding on the nicely plied body. The decoration consists of a white ground with a beautiful gilt and pink harebell pattern The sucrier has the puce printed "Spode Felspar Porcelain...
