This Spode Copeland Tower Game Bird Plate features the Plover #7, which is rare and collectible.
The series of blue & white plates depicts game birds of England in their natural habitat, with shades of blue on a cream base. Using a historic shape with a scalloped & fluted edge, the rim is decorated with a blue transfer of flowers. Copeland Spode used this shape for many patterns in dark blue, light bue, pink, brown & black. Scenes & patterns depicted range from the well known "Italian Tower" to the hard to find "Zoological " pattern.
This limited edition decorative plate is a great example of English Transferware from the prestigious Copeland Spode pottery and the incised date on back- N43- indicates a production date of November 1943.
The plate has a diameter of 10 3/4" inches and weighs 1.2 lbs.
It is perfect for all occasions and makes a great addition to any collection.
In Perfect Condition with no chips, cracks or crazing.
Please see next last picture showing a Bonhams Auction sale of 12 plates in this pattern.
I have six of these wonderful plates and will consider reduced prices for multiple plates bought.
