Spode was founded in 1770 by Josiah Spode, and the pottery factory was established in Stoke-on-Trent, a town known for its ceramics. In 1784, the first Spode developed the underglaze technique using copperplate transfer printing. In 1847, W. T. Copeland officially became the owner, and in 1867, W. T. Copeland's four sons took over. Currently, it is one of the brands owned by Royal Worcester Spode. This is from the Wild Flowers series, and the backstamp includes both Copeland and Spode. It was manufactured in the 1920s, making it an antique of almost 100 years old. The chintz, a copperplate transfer developed by the first Spode, features hand-painted colors on the flowers and leaves. The chintz pattern is a deep blue, with wildflowers in red, purple, and yellow, and leaves accented with green and yellow-green, creating a lovely design. When several pieces are arranged together, the different colors of the flowers highlight the craftsmanship of the artisans. Copperplate transfer printing is mostly single-colored, and the use of multiple colors is rare. The manufacturing is also old, and it is difficult to find a complete trio. How about this opportunity? It is glossy and in beautiful condition. There are some minor scratches on the center of the 22cm plate (photo 9). There are small scratches on the center of the saucer due to cup rubbing (photo 13). Crazing is present in a circular pattern on the back of the saucer (photo 14). There is no crazing on the plate or cup. In addition, there are age-related characteristics such as black spots, color unevenness, ink transfer, paint loss, air bubbles, kiln marks, and pinholes from manufacturing.
