Rare Regency Spode Pheasant Pattern Plates c1816
We have for a sale a lovely and very hard to find early pair of Spode Stone China Pheasant Pattern (Pattern No 2240) dessert plates c1816.
This very striking pair of lobed Regency period Spode Stone China plates are decorated with the very first iteration of the very well loved Spode Pheasant Pattern (Pattern No 2240), consisting of a male and female pheasant in a tree amidst flowers within floral border in a printed underglaze blue further decorated with over glaze polychrome colours including iron red, yellow, green, turquoise and pink. The rim of the plate is decorated with a simple light brown line typical of the Kakiemon style. The reverse of one of the plates carries the printed underglaze blue Spode Stone China Mark along with the overglaze pattern number 2240 and a decorators mark (what looks like an arrow) both in iron red. The second plate only carries the underglaze blue Spode China printed mark to the reverse.
The Spode Pheasant Pattern
The pheasant pattern was one of Spode's most popular patterns. It is based on 18th century Chinese patterns which in turn were inspired by 17th and 18th century century Japanese Kakiemon patterns. The Spode Pheasant Pattern was first used introduced in 1816 as pattern 2240, thus making these plates some of the first to be decorated with the pattern. The pattern was further slightly modified in around 1822 and replaced by pattern No 3438. Since then the pattern has gone through a number of further modifications and been re-assigned to various different pattern numbers. Spode ceased using the final version of the Pheasant pattern in around 1950.
Stone china
The plates are made from Stone china, a stoneware fired at 1200 degrees centigrade to give a rise to a hard, heat resistant ceramic using a formula developed by Spode in 1812. This formula included a high percentage of Cornish rock (kaoline rich china stone) thus giving the ceramic a lovely light blueish grey hue, perfect as background colour for a Chinese inspired polychrome design.
The plates are 8.2 inches (20.7cm) in diameter and both are in a truly excellent condition with no chips cracks or repairs and minimal wear to the surface. The plates look as if they have only been used very infrequently and have clearly spent most of their 209 years in a display cabinet.
