Description from the seller
Elegant 6-person table service produced by Spode in white ceramic, decorated in cobalt blue on a white background according to the tradition of the famous English transfer-print productions.
The service features a refined decoration named "Spode's Tower" with romantic landscapes, depicting buildings, bridges, waterways and trees, enclosed within rich floral and geometric borders. The central motif is framed by a band of deep blue decorated with small flowers and ornamental motifs, while the shaped and slightly wavy edges give the pieces a particular elegance.
The decoration "Spode's Tower" was introduced in 1814 and derives from an illustration printed in Merigot's book "Views of Rome and its Vicinity" published circa 1796-1798. The tower depicts the Salaro Bridge, near Rome. The bridge, which originally had a jetty built over it, now lies beneath the main road that leads from Rome to the airport.
The service well represents the taste of traditional 18th- to 19th-century English tableware, 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 tray bears a newer mark compared to the rest of the dishes.
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.
