Pattern 1930 Spode bone china London shape Trio introduced by Spode c1812. This is a very superior looking design with its fabulous bands of yellow enamel & loads of rich gilding set off by feathery fronds of iron red. It also seems to hark back to the fashionable designs which could be seen in Paris c1800. The use of yellow enamel on porcelain c1800-5 in the UK was a status symbol because like red enamel it was a difficult colour to produce successfully and had a tendency to go dull if the kiln temperatures were not to its liking.
You can see there is a little wear to the Saucer's gilding which is very common for this period as it has no 'well' and so the cups tended to slide around very precariously & any slight imperfections on the bases of the cups would cause damage to the saucer's decoration. Only one saucer was needed because Tea & Coffee were not served together during this period.
The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) were still in progress when this pattern was introduced but perhaps some of Spode's customers were becoming tired of it and wanted a little bit of 'Parisienne' excitement again.
Here you can see the internal decoration & the expected tiny specks of kiln dust which are usually present in Spode's bone china pieces of this date.
The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge also has a Spode London shape Tea Cup & Saucer in this pattern on display. It had been in the private porcelain collection of Christopher Hogwood CBE (1941-2014) and was purchased & given by the Friends of the Fitzwilliam Museum. Interestingly it has an Australian Antique Porcelain Dealer's label on its base, so it has also travelled well like some of my pieces. I would normally provide you with a link to this object but unfortunately the Fitzwilliam Museum's Collections Explorer is currently offline for approximately 2 - 3 months because it is being rebuilt with security up-dates.
A black & white photo of a matching London shape Coffee Cup & Saucer also appears in my 1997 second edition reference book, 'Spode & Copeland Marks, & other relevant intelligence' written by Robert Copeland (page 147 but sadly black & white does not do it justice).
Here you can see that the Tea Cup & Saucer are both marked to their bases with the pattern number '1930' in red enamel only (no Spode) but the Coffee Cup is not marked at all.
