Maker: Spode  Pattern: Duncan Scenes brown

In 1849 W T Copeland commissioned Edward Duncan to paint a series of sepia watercolours, which were to inspire an extensive range of tableware and in the following year Copeland Spode registered the new Rural Scenes pattern. This picture is one from the original series, which remained in the ownership of the Copeland family until offered for sale by Robert Copeland, great-grandson of W T Copeland. It is a sepia wash watercolour over pencil drawing and is in good condition with only one dot of foxing. It is signed E Duncan 1849. Mounted and within an old oak frame measuring 17.25" X 14.25". Inscribed on the back is "This is the Property of Mr T R Copeland".
