Georgian PAIR Soup Bowls by Spode in Blue & White Rome or Tiber Pattern, Ca 1815

About the Item

This is a beautiful pair of deep plates or Soup Bowls in the blue and white Rome or Tiber Pattern, produced by the Spode factory and made of a type of earthenware pottery called Pearl-ware, in the early 19th century, circa 1815. The pattern view shows the River Tiber, the Castle of St. Angelo, the Bridge of St. Angelo and St. Peter's with its high dome. To the left of St. Peter's is Trajan's Column, which is misplaced, not appearing from the viewpoint used. Spode introduced the pattern in 1811. Please see Page 362 for more detail in the book; Blue & White Printed Pottery by Coysh & Henrywood, published by The Antique Collectors' Club.. These bowls have very good deep cobalt blue coloring with the quality expected by this factory. Both pieces are marked with the Spode impressed & printed marks for the period. Overall a very decorative pair of early Spode blue & white Bowls.

  • Early Spode Red Greek Pattern Tile
    By Spode, Josiah Spode
    Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
    A Neoclassical red transferware tile made by Spode 1806-1810, with the ‘Refreshments for Phliasian Horseman’ pattern. Sir William Hamilton’s Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman antiquities, first published in 1766 by Pierre d’Hancarville, was a landmark publication in English design. It intended to disseminate the Antique style through its engravings of Attic pottery. The catalog’s faithful reproductions of Classical vases led British potteries, including Spode, to adapt or even copy the ancient art for modern life. These Spode Greek pattern tiles reflect the major influence of Hamilton’s catalog on English Neoclassicism. The central scene was taken directly from the catalog. This tile can be dated to a narrow window of production in the Spode factory, 1806-1810. During that time, Spode used a technique known as the “Pluck and Dust” method to print in red transfer designs onto creamware. Using this method, source prints were transferred overglaze using tissue imprinted with a very faint rendition of the design outlined in sticky oil. The decorator applied the tissue to the object then carefully “plucked” or pulled it away, leaving the sticky oil design behind. Then, a finely-ground enamel color was “dusted” onto the surface, sticking to any areas that had the oil. A final firing at a low temperature in the enamel kiln made the pattern permanent. The Pluck and Dust technique improved upon bat-printing and enabled larger designers to be transferred. It was short-lived, however, as under-glaze transfer printing soon took over as the preferred method for producing transferwares. Dimensions: 5 in. x 5 in. x 1/4 in. Condition: Excellent. Slight chip to the upper left corner measuring approximately 0.9 cm. in length. Provenance: The Collection of Nancy and Andrew Ramage Jonathan Horne...
