This is a beautiful breakfast set made by Spode between 1813 and 1825 –
Josiah Spode II period 1797 to 1827.
The cup is made in the famous “London” shape, which was brought out by Spode in 1813, and is instantly recognisable as the handles were always almost vertical with just a slight splayed angle, the saucer is a deep tea dish.

By c1817 many of Spode’s ceramics were marked with the manufacturer’s name, the pattern number & worker’s marks. Spode in black – 2083 in red + painters mark.

Description

Josiah Spode was the great Pioneer among the Georgian potters in England, circa year 1800 he perfected the bone china recipe that has been used by everyone ever since, and he was also the leading potter behind the technique of transferware, making it possible for English potters to replace the Chinese export china, which had come to an end around that time, with their own. This was fundamental to a thriving industry that would last for about 150 years and provide half the world with their tableware.
