Maker: Spode  Pattern: Net

Spode were not the only makers of Net pattern, but this dish is attributed to them on the basis of its shape. These dishes occur as root or sometimes radish dishes in early records and it has also been suggested that they may have been used for asparagus.
No maker's backstamp, which is usual for Net pattern.
