Pattern 1668 Spode Creamware Dinner Plate introduced c1811. This is a strange design of various stylised printed foliage with additional colours & gilt added by hand. I have seen this Spode design produced in porcelain, stone china & creamware to cater for different price brackets of the market. This particular Creamware Dinner Plate is quite light and does not feel robust, so it is even more remarkable that it has survived this long.
There is a Spode porcelain Shell shaped Dish for sale currently in this pattern offered by 1st Dibs you can see it here:
Colour-wise, I have also seen a version of this pattern where most of the foliage is painted in green with just the large red flower & brown leaves either side together with the additional blue berries supplying the only extra colour and I have seen another version all in green & gilt which is rather pleasant.
By enlarging sections of this Spode Creamware plate you can see how it was printed in a combination of red & black enamels & the other colours & gilt were carefully applied afterwards.
The triangular leaves? look like an Art Deco production rather than a Regency one.
The plate has an orangey coloured enamel rim & some very strange looking plants
A fern & perhaps acorns; I'm wondering if they were trying to choose plants to represent the different parts of the United Kingdom?
Definitely quirky - but quirky is interesting.
This Spode Creamware Dinner Plate has an impressed 'SPODE' mark which is rather faint, a letter 'B' written in black enamel & an old collector's label on its base. This is another item from the Derek & Yvonne Andrews Collection.
Here you can see the faintly impressed 'SPODE' mark.
