Spode - Copeland - 整套茶具 (14) - Spodes's Tower - 陶瓷 - 供6人份

Elegant tea service for 6 people produced by Copeland Spode in white ceramic, decorated in cobalt blue on white background according to the tradition of famous English transfer printing productions.

The service features a refined decoration named "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 a blue band densely 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 under the main road that leads from Rome to the airport.

The service well represents the taste of English transfer-printed tableware from the 18th- and 19th-century tradition, particularly appreciated for the transfer printing technique and the use of the distinctive cobalt blue. The decoration recalls 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
