Spode's Felspar Porcelain

Spode Felspar Porcelain jug c1825

Developed by Spode in the early 1820s, the addition of feldspar to the body produced a fine quality and hard wearing bone china which they called 'Felspar Porcelain'. The translucent white body was perfect for print and enamelled designs as in the 'famille rose' hydra jug below. For more details see Premier Antiques

Early Blue and White - Floral Patterns

S & J Burton 'Lovick's' Pattern Dinner Plate c1835

As both taste and transfer printing techniques began to change in the early 19th century, English potters began to produce 'all over' floral patterns as an alternative to Chinese or Italian influenced landscapes. By the 1820s, most manufacturers had developed their own floral designs which remained popular for a decade or so.
