Pattern 1643 Spode bone china London shape Coffee Cup decorated internally with a line of puce & green flowers & gilt leaves. This pattern was introduced at Spode c1810-1811 but the London shape cup did not appear until c1813.
Josiah Spode II's signature gilding pattern down the handle.
Spode's London handles were always vertical rather than following the shape of the cup.
A very pretty interior - this required skill!
This Spode bone china Coffee Cup is marked to its base with both 'SPODE' & its pattern number '1643' in iron red enamel.
