Description
Have nothing in your home that you don't know to be useful or believe to be beautiful William Morris Josiah Spode - founder of the Spode Pottery manufacturer & known as Josiah Spode I even though his father is also a Josiah Spode. Born in 1733, the only son of poor parents in Lane Delph a village in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. His father died when he was 6 & was buried in a pauper's grave. From the age of 16 in 1749 Josiah was apprenticed to one of the best Potters in the area - Thomas Wheldon until he was 21. After his departure Spode seems to have worked for & in partnership with other Potters in the area. Spode established a business in Stoke on Trent. Spode is an integral part of Stoke on Trent industrial heritage for almost 250 years. Magnificent teacup & Saucer with gorgeous gold flowers, leaves in opulent gold & red/purple colour. The dimensions are 6 wide for the saucer, 3 7/8 wide & 2 1/4 tall for the teacup. Hand painted red pattern number 4633 & Spode - first used in 1790. Considering the age the duo is in excellent antique condition with the exception of minor loss of gilt & tiny nibble on the base of the teacup, please study the photos carefully. This collection belonged to a British Pottery expert who passionately curated, catalogued & researched thousands of pieces from the mid 1750 to the early 1900.
