Spode Indian Sporting Series c1810

Probably the most sought after of early Blue & White, Spode's Indian Sporting series is quite a rarity. Here is one of two unusual soup plates 'Chase after a Wolf' showing a wolf running with a lamb in its mouth, chased by dogs and Indian hunters with stones and spears. A dramatic scene from engravings by Samuel Howitt published in 1805. For this and other early Spode pieces, visit Premier Antiques
