SPODE
STAFFORDSHIRE BLUE & WHITE CASTLE
OR GATE OF SAN SEBASTIAN PATTERNPEARLWARE
PLATE C.1806-15
"A
beautiful blue and white Staffordshire pearlware display plate for the
dresser or wall. A fine example of Spode's Castle or Gate
of San Sebastian pattern. It looks
so good on display with other fine antiques and will enhance any
collection of English pottery." Antiques Expert
Hamilton Bear.
References:
This pattern is one of the Spode Italian Series designs and is based on
two prints found in Merigot's
Views of Rome and its Vicinity 1797-9. One print is "The
Gate of
Sebastian" the other "Ponte Molle". It is believed to have been
introduced in 1806. An identical example is illustrated in Blue and
White Transfer Ware 1780-1840, A.W. Coysh plate 104 page
77.
Marks:
Characteristic Spode printed mark and impressed marks as illustrated.
Dimensions:
width 250 mm max.
Condition:
In brilliant condition. No significant damage or chips or
restoration. Viewed in angled light there are several light
knife-scratch marks to glaze and a small patch (to the right top of the
right gatehouse tower) where the clear glaze has not adhered to the
pottery in firing. This is difficult to spot and does not
detract from a good early piece.
