Pair of Antique Regency Spode Blue Pearlware Plates

An elegant very early Spode pair of deep plates from the Regency period, made between 1815–1825, these antique pearlware plates reflect the refined aesthetic that defined one of England’s most important early potteries. The deep blue transfer decoration is beautifully set against the soft luminosity of pearlware, creating a striking balance of clarity and depth that remains highly sought after by collectors today.

To find a matching pair that has remained together for over two centuries is increasingly rare, adding to their appeal if you collect early English ceramics and fine blue transferware. One plate has a hand painted anchor mark { a mark made by the specific workman who made this plate} and shows a fine hairline visible only from the reverse. It doesn't detract from the beauty of the pair. A refined addition to your curated collection of antique English pottery. Complimentary U.S. shipping included.

• Measure 9-5/8" x 1-1/2"h.

Collector’s Notes

During the Regency period, Spode was at the forefront of English ceramics, refining the pearlware body and perfecting underglaze blue transfer printing. This combination allowed for finely detailed decoration with a clarity and consistency that set Spode apart from many of its contemporaries. Early 19th-century Spode pieces from this era are especially admired for their crispness of design and the soft, slightly luminous quality of the glaze. Collectors value these early examples not only for their beauty, but for their role in shaping what would become one of England’s most influential ceramic traditions.
