What does the pattern number on Spode mean?

It is a factory number for the decoration, painted or printed on the piece. Numbers such as 319, 557, 643, 963, 967, 1166 and 1916 all appear in listings on Sellingantiques. It is the category's working language. The word 'pattern' turns up in 55 of 142 titles, and pieces are far more often identified by number than by shape or mark.

Is Spode porcelain or earthenware?

Both. The early painted and gilded tea and coffee wares are bone china and felspar porcelain, and 'porcelain' appears in 49 of 142 titles. The blue and white group is transfer-printed earthenware and stone china. Creamware and pearlware also turn up, on a milk pail and a toast rack among other things.

How old is most antique Spode for sale?

The dated field runs from 1800 to 1940, but the weight is firmly on the first third of the 19th century. Georgian and Regency tags outnumber Victorian, Edwardian and later ones together. Precision is another matter. Only 27 of 142 listings carry a clean year, and the biggest single tag is simply '19th Century'.

Why is Copeland listed under Spode?

The Spode name continued through 19th-century ownerships associated with the Copeland family, so Copeland and Copeland & Garrett wares belong in the same category. They make up about a sixth of titles: dishes and platters, an Italian pattern comport and service, a jasperware biscuit barrel, garden seats and an Art Deco cocktail shaker.

Which blue and white patterns come up?

Named printed patterns in the samples include Bridge of Lucano, Caramanian, Tower, Greek, Girl at the Well, Death of the Bear, Lanje Lijsen and Indian Sporting. They appear on dishes, platters and larger serving pieces, and on the odd form too. One of the two Chinese-style barrel garden seats carries the Tower pattern.

What unusual Spode shapes turn up?

Footbaths appear four times in the samples, which is a lot for such a form, and one in the Indian Sporting series sits at the very top of the range. One-offs include a creamware milk pail, a pearlware toast rack, a pen tray, a violet holder, a silver-gilt mounted scent bottle, an inkstand and a cottage pastille burner. Garden seats, ice pails and large trays fill out the same end.
