Description from the seller
Elegant tea service for 6 people, produced by Copeland Spode in white ceramic, decorated in cobalt blue on a white ground according to the tradition of the famous English transfer-printed productions.
The service features a refined decoration called "Spode's Tower" with romantically styled landscapes depicting buildings, bridges, waterways and trees, enclosed within rich floral and geometric borders. The central motif is framed by an intensely decorated blue band with small flowers and ornamental motifs, while the shaped and slightly undulating edges give the elements distinctive elegance.
The pattern "Spode's Tower" was introduced in 1814 and derives from an illustration printed in Merigot's book "Views of Rome and its Vicinity," published ca. 1796–1798. The tower depicts the Salaro Bridge, near Rome. The bridge, which originally had a pier built over it, now lies beneath the main road that leads from Rome to the airport.
The service well represents the taste of English tableware from the seven- to eighteenth-century tradition, particularly appreciated for the transfer printing technique and for the use of the characteristic cobalt blue. The decoration evokes the great tradition of English and Oriental blue-and-white wares.
The set is complete for 6 people and consists of:
6 saucers
6 cups
1 teapot
1 sugar bowl
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
