The manufacturer is Spode China - Copeland & Garrett. Made around 1833-1847, according to the backstamp. It is a predecessor of the current Spode. I researched its history as follows: [-Copeland & Garrett - A manufacturer of pottery, Parian ware, and fine porcelain in Stoke. Around 1833 - 1847, succeeding Mr. Spode. Josiah Spode: around 1770 - April 1833. Copeland & Garrett: around 1833 - 1847. WT Copeland & Sons: around 1847 - 1970. Spode: 1970 to present.] It is a piece from nearly 200 years ago. There is hand-painting in places on the transfer. The gold parts are also hand-painted. It is a sturdy, thick ceramic, so I believe it has survived the ages. 25.5 x 18 cm, Height to the highest point of the rim: 5.7 cm There are small scratches, but no crazing, cracks, or chips. The ceramic has a good luster, and the colors of the painting are vivid.
