Josiah Spode established his pottery works in Stoke-on-Trent, England, during the late eighteenth century. The factory produced high-quality earthenware and bone china for daily dining and formal display. Artisans created these pieces using transfer printing, a technique where designs were etched on copper plates and pressed onto ceramic surfaces.
Wealthy households used these refined ceramic plates for multi-course meals served in dining rooms. Servants cleared and reset the table with matching services for each new dish throughout the evening. Over time, tastes shifted toward simpler modern dinnerware, leading many families to pack away their patterned earthenware sets.
Circa 1813-1920
