The Art & Antiques for Everyone Winter Fair 2021 & Spode Exhibition will take place at the NEC Birmingham, UK on 25-28 November 2021. This special Spode Exhibition event was originally planned for the Spring 2020 Fair but it was postponed due to the Coronavirus & lockdown; it is now back on.
The Spode Society & its members hope to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of Spode Ceramics by staging a special Exhibition of Spode & Copeland ceramics at the Art & Antiques for Everyone Fair.
Visitors to the event will be able to view some very rare & exceptionally fine Spode & Copeland ceramic pieces which will be representative of the vast range and historical span of production from this Stoke-on-Trent factory which was one of Britain's leading & finest ceramic manufacturers.
The Exhibition will contain early Spode bone china, Imari decorated objects, wonderfully hand-painted Landscapes & richly gilded & embellished Florals showing the artists great skills, together with Creamware, Stone China, sprigged Cane ware & Basalt ware; in total 7 display cabinets.
Items are privately owned and will be kindly loaned for this special 250 year Spode Exhibition. A commemorative, full colour brochure will also be available detailing & recording all the Spode & Copeland ceramic pieces.
Several items from the www.antiquespode.co.uk Collection will be included in this Spode & Copeland Exhibition; this Jug with its political message was produced by Josiah Spode II c1803 during the Napoleonic Wars of 1803-1815 & will be one of the exhibits at the NEC.
