FAQs

Introduced circa 1810 to 1820 during the Regency period, Spode pattern 1166 features an elaborate cobalt blue ground, intricate gilt scale decoration, and hand-painted floral vignettes. It represents one of the most lavish decorative patterns produced by the Josiah Spode factory in Staffordshire.

These trays were crafted from fine English bone china, hand-painted using mineral enamel pigments, and finished with burnished gold gilding. The complex creation process required multiple kiln firings to set the deep cobalt ground and delicate botanical details.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-painted pattern numbers, such as 1166 in red or gold enamel, along with painted or impressed factory marks on the underside. The presence of dense, high-quality gilding over precise blue ground scale patterns also indicates genuine production.

A decorative porcelain tray can be displayed flat on a sideboard top or coffee table as a decorative focal point, or placed on a wooden display easel within a glazed cabinet. It provides contrast when set against dark polished timber or neutral modern surfaces.

Dust gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a fine camel-hair brush. Avoid water immersion, detergents, chemical cleaners, and abrasive cloths, as liquid exposure and friction can erode historical enamel painting and delicate gilding.
