Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Spode perfected the blue underglaze transfer printing technique in Staffordshire during the late 18th century, allowing intricate engraved designs to be replicated on earthenware plates and platters. The Tower pattern, introduced around 1814, depicts an Italianate landscape featuring the Bridge of Salario near Rome.

Early 19th-century platters were typically made from refined earthenware or pearlware, coated with a clear lead glaze over cobalt blue oxide ink applied via tissue paper transfers.

Authentic pieces often feature makers marks or pattern names impressed or printed on the reverse, subtle glaze imperfections, minor cobalt bleeding around details, and signs of hand-finishing on the rim edges.

These pieces are frequently displayed on plate stands atop sideboards, mounted in vertical wall arrangements, or positioned inside open china cabinets to add colour and historical texture to traditional or eclectic spaces.

Wash by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or dishwashers. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth and avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent crazing or cracking of the glaze.
