Pair of Georgian Spode 'New Stone' Blue & White Tea Plates, C. 1820–1833

18th century
Description

A fine pair of authentic early 19th-century English transferware tea or side plates, manufactured by the renowned Josiah Spode II factory in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, featuring a classic late Georgian all-over botanical floral transfer design and made in Spode’s highly collectible 'New Stone'—an innovative, exceptionally durable ironstone body formulated to rival heavy Chinese porcelain imports.

The plates feature a vibrant, richly detailed cobalt blue central bouquet with an intricate geometric and floral repeat border, finished with a traditional hand-painted brown ochre rim.

The glaze exhibits a beautiful, soft 'flow' effect characteristic of high-quality cobalt firings of this era.

The reverse of each plate bears the uncoloured uppercase impressed factory mark reading "SPODES NEW STONE". Because this manufacture mark was permanently retired following the sale of the factory in March 1833, these plates can be securely and precisely dated to the late Georgian period.

Diameter: 15 cm.

Form: Round flatware / Small tea or side plate.

Very good antique condition consistent with 200+ years of age and light use.

Declaration

Pareglio & Ayres Antiques Interiors has dated these Georgian Spode Tea Plates to the Georgian era.

This pair of Georgian earthenware tea plates comes from the early 19th-century factory of Josiah Spode II in Stoke-on-Trent, made in an innovative, durable New Stone ironstone body. Each round flatware piece measures 15 cm in diameter, presenting a circular form with a scalloped edge and a hand-painted brown ochre rim. The glaze displays a soft cobalt blue flow effect over a white ground, finished with a richly detailed botanical floral bouquet at the centre and an intricate geometric Chinoiserie repeat border. The reverse of each plate bears an uncoloured uppercase impressed factory mark reading SPODES NEW STONE. These small tea plates remain in very good antique condition consistent with light use over two centuries. In a contemporary home, this pair suits display upon a sideboard top or use during afternoon tea service. The traditional English Country House design vibe complements both traditional and eclectic dining tables or decorative display cabinets. The durable ironstone composition allows practical everyday handling while maintaining its historical aesthetic value. Each plate offers collectors a secure date range prior to March 1833, anchoring its provenance in the late Georgian period through authentic factory marking and classic transferware execution.

Spode New Stone was an improved stoneware ceramic body introduced in 1814 by Josiah Spode II, designed to offer high durability and mimic imported Chinese porcelain.

These plates were crafted from dense earthenware or stoneware and decorated using underglaze transfer-printing or hand-painted cobalt oxide prior to a final clear glaze firing.

Authentic pieces feature distinct impressed or printed maker marks on the underside, era-appropriate body weight, and characteristic cobalt transfer motifs standard to early nineteenth-century English potteries.

Display them mounted in a symmetry wall arrangement, arranged on display stands inside a glazed cabinet, or placed on a sideboard top to add historic detail to a room scheme.

Hand wash gently using warm water and mild liquid detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges, dishwashers, or prolonged soaking to preserve the glaze integrity.
