The design features detailed floral motifs in cobalt blue, red, peach, pink, and green, accented with delicate gilt highlights.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe underside of the saucer bears the rare \"Spode Stone China\" mark in underglaze blue—used only between 1805 and 1830—alongside the hand-painted pattern number \"2061\" in iron red. This version predates the more common \"Late Spode\" marks, making it a particularly collectible example of Georgian ceramic artistry.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSpode was founded by Josiah Spode I in 1776 and became one of England's premier potteries under the direction of Josiah Spode II. The \"Stone China\" formula was a notable innovation of the period, offering enhanced durability while retaining fine decorative detail.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis set is in exceptional condition, ideal for collectors of antique porcelain or for refined display in period interiors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nCoffee Cup - Height: 6.4 cm \/ 2.52″, Diameter: 6.7 cm \/ 2.64″\u003cbr\u003e\nSaucer - Diameter: 10.8 cm \/ 4.25″\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent antique condition.
