Maker: Spode  Pattern: Botanical

Spode introduced his British Flowers and Botanical series in 1828. They have similar designs of flowers, but Botanical reverses the typical colouring with basically white flowers on a blue background, giving a softer look. It is one of the most sophisticated and subtle of all the Spode designs.
This platter is in superb condition, with a little wear on the back, a few knife marks on the face, but with no real signs of use during its 170 year life. The face is wonderfully bright and clean.
There is an impressed SPODE with 1 beneath and a blue printed SPODE, plus decorators mark of an A. This platter would have been made between 1828 and 1833.
A rare opportunity to acquire a major piece decorated in a strongly collected Spode design and in near perfect condition.
