Fine Antique English Porcelain has dated this Spode Porcelain Inkstand 1166 to the Regency era.
Pattern 1166 was first recorded in about 1808. The pattern is ground laid in cobalt blue, hand painted and gilded on Spode's pure white bone china. It is gilded and painted entirely by hand. The combination of cobalt blue and gold is one of the most expensive in ceramic decoration as it is produced with 2 of the most expensive raw materials. This extravagance, coupled with these gorgeous flowers, makes this design one of the most magnificent to come out of the Spode factory. Marked 1166 in red to the base.
This shape of Inkstand appears in the Spode 1820 Shape Book described as ''198 - Round Fixed Inkstand - One size''
