Re: Help ID Copeland Late Spode Pattern Posted by Andrew J Pye on January 8, 2012, 4:05 am, in reply to "Help ID Copeland Late Spode Pattern" Hi David The pattern name is Tulip and it was introduced during the Copeland & Garrett period, probably about 1845. It continued in production through the 1800s, not necessarily continously, but the copper plates were repaired in 1872, presumably for use. I cannot quite read the crest Southampton........? Regards Andrew

Sue is correct as to the crest; in fact I already have the pattern entered in the Database in the Advertising / Inns, Taverns, Public Houses section as "Dolphin Hotel Southampton". I can now add the Spode pattern name as well, but wonder if you have a reference which I can include?

Re: Help ID Copeland Late Spode Pattern Posted by Andrew J Pye on February 8, 2012, 12:09 pm, in reply to "Re: Help ID Copeland Late Spode Pattern" The pattern gets a fleeting mention in that wonderful book Spode/Copeland Transfer-Printed Patterns by Lynne Sussman, being No 22 in the Canadian Historic Sites Series. It is on page 163.

Re: Help ID Copeland Late Spode Pattern Posted by Ruth Gach on May 10, 2012, 9:26 pm, in reply to "Re: Help ID Copeland Late Spode Pattern" I have 12 8.5 or 9 inch plates, swirl Black or dark gray "sort-of-floral" design around edge (about 1.5 inches)then abt an inch of white/cream and in center a scene including at left a rounded buildin with collumns, center in a pond with a "sale boat". Far side of pond is what looks like a village/church/monestary at edge of water. In distance is volcano or mountains. Trees, flowers, leaves, clouds. Only mark on back is COPELAND late SPODE ENGLAND. Also 8 with unreadable below. Impressed is U 20 and also an unreadable oval impression. They are at least 100 years old I think. No patern mark is printed. CAN YOU HELP?

Please post images of front and back, and if you are unable to do it yourself, email them to our webmaster (directions on Message Board entry page).

Re: Help ID Copeland Late Spode Pattern Posted by Peter Johnson on July 7, 2012, 9:53 am, in reply to "Re: Help ID Copeland Late Spode Pattern" I think I recognise Ruth's description - it ties up with some plates I am trying to identify. Mine sound to be the same except the border in orange-red. I have 2 and they measure about 27cm diameter. There's an impressed mark that seems to read Copeland ?something? Spode with an Rd No that I just can't read!
