Also of note is the 8 sided octagonal form of each of the six items (see images).

The interior upper perimeters of all of the items receive the same amount of attention. The pitcher and bowl combination is larger than most that were manufactured during that period, (16" diameter) made possible by the strength of the ironstone. The Mason's mark underneath the items indicates a 1830s manufacture, with the "Mason's Patent Ironstone China" above and beneath the crown in blue.

This pair of Spode shell-shaped dishes was made in England around 1820 and printed in the classic orange and blue palette associated with Imari decoration. The lively color combination immediately gives the pair decorative authority, while the sculptural shell form adds movement and visual interest. The printed design shows a stylized garden scene with blue rockwork, flowering peonies and chrysanthemums in orange, and bamboo rising behind the flowers. The limited palette of orange and blue keeps the composition clear and balanced, with the strong blue elements anchoring the design and the warm orange flowers providing contrast. Spode was one of the most important English pottery manufacturers of the early nineteenth century and played a central role in adapting Asian decorative traditions for the English market. The orange and blue color scheme reflects the long influence of Japanese Imari porcelains that began arriving in Europe during the seventeenth century. The molded shell form enhances the design by creating gentle curves that catch the light across the surface, adding dimension to the printed decoration. Dishes of this shape were often used for serving desserts or sweetmeats and were also valued for display. Dimensions: 10 inches long x 8.5 inches wide x 2 inches deep Condition: Excellent Price: $280 for the pair Decoration: Orange and blue Imari...
