Georgian Ceramics

This is a very fine example of an English George III period, porcelain, coffee can, made by Spode and hand painted in Pattern 967, during the early 19th Century, circa 1815. The can is nominally straight sided and has the Spode loop handle with a pronounced kick or kink to the lower part, with a lower attachment that curves out from the cup. Spode is the only factory with a handle of this exact shape. The can has a fine and beautifully hand-painted Imari pattern with superb rich enameling and hand gilding in Gold. Heavily gilded porcelain of this period were called "Candlelight Wares" because of the brilliance of their gilding. Even the outer handle is covered in gold. This pattern 967, is recognised as being their most sought after Candlelight pattern of the time and is fully documented on pages 50-52 in Steven Smith's book: Spode & Copeland, published by Schiffer. The can has the pattern number, "967" hand painted to the inner foot rim in iron red. We have other pieces in this superb pattern as per the last image, all by Spode. Overall, a very beautiful early Spode Coffee Can...

This is a very good stone China or ironstone coffee can in the Bang Up pattern number 2886, made by the Spode factory in the early 19th century, Georgian period, circa 1820. The cup is well potted with Spode's distinctive loop handle having the kink in the loop above the lower attachment. This coffee can or cup is made from ironstone which spode named Stone China. It is decorated in the unusually named floral "Bang Up" blue printed pattern with hand painted enamels to the outer cup, inner rim and outer handle. This pattern is illustrated on page 58 of the book; Spode and Copeland by Steven Smith, published by Schiffer. The piece has Spode's stone China blue printed...

This is a very good sauce tureen and lid made of ironstone (Spode's Stone China) in the Willis Pattern, No 2647, produced by the English, Spode factory early in the 19th century, George 111rd period, circa 1810. This sauce tureen comprises two very well potted pieces, the lid and the base. The base has two beautiful snake head handles, one on either side. The lid has a lovely acorn or flower bud moulded finial to its top and a side cut away for a serving spoon. This piece is beautifully painted in pattern number 2647, named the 'Willis' pattern. The chinoiserie decoration was transfer printed in grey under-glaze, then carefully and finely hand painted in bold colored enamels in the Famille Rose palette. The pattern shows stylized flowers set above rocks with a butterfly above, all in a garden setting with an intricate border, which is repeated to the inside top of the base. Both pieces have a mid brown edge, similar to that often seen on Chinese plates of the same period. The pattern is in the Chinese taste as produced by many of the English potteries of the time, to compete directly with the large import of Canton or Chinese export porcelain from China. As is usual with Spode ware the standard of hand painted detail is very high. A plate in this pattern is shown on page 55 of Steven Smith's book; "Spode and Copeland" published by Schiffer. From China. Both pieces are fully marked to the base, with the earlier Spode black...
