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. It was produced susequently without any border design and was called Duncan Scenes and around 1878 there was limited production of Duncan Scenes printed in brown on cream bodied earthenware in Amien Embossed shape with embossed gadroon rims.
The Copeland family retained such a dinner service as part of their private collection and this passed by descent to Robert Copeland from whom we acquired this part service.
