Spode - Serving plate (2) - Porcelain - Felspar blue/gold 1821/33

Pair of lobed and slightly oblong porcelain plates (feldspathic porcelain, Felspar Porcelain), made by the English manufacturer Spode between 1821 and 1833. These service pieces are distinguished by a complex hand-painted decoration: a deep cobalt blue border under glaze, enriched with fine gold gilding featuring detailed motifs of grape leaves and flowers. Feldspathic porcelain, a technical innovation patented by Josiah Spode II in 1821, grants the paste a whiteness and translucency characteristic of high-quality production of the Regency era. Marks and signatures: • Plate 1: Purple printed mark “Spode Felspar Porcelain” under a crown of roses and hand-painted red decoration number. • Plate 2: Red handwritten mark “Spode” and corresponding decoration number. Condition: Excellent condition. • Structure: No cracks, no chips, no hairlines, and no old or modern restorations. • Decoration and gilding: The fine-gold motifs have retained their original brilliance and relief. Wear to the gilding is minimal and localized at contact points, which is exceptional for pieces of this period. • Glaze: The original glaze remains perfectly smooth and glossy. Dimensions: 24 cm x 22 cm

Estimate:£125.02
