Copeland Spode “Tower” Blue Transferware Plate

beautifully detailed example of English blue and white transferware, this antique plate was produced by Copeland Spode of England, one of the most respected and enduring names in British ceramics. The backstamp confirms Copeland Spode England, placing this piece in the late 19th to early 20th century, after the Spode name was acquired by the Copeland family and before mass mid-century reproductions became common.

The plate features the classic “Tower” landscape motif, a romantic pastoral scene with a stone bridge and tower, framed by an ornate border of stylized florals and textural patterning. The softly scalloped rim adds dimension and elegance, making this piece equally suited for wall display, shelf styling, or layering into a collected table setting.

The glaze shows gentle age-appropriate crazing and light tonal variation, consistent with authentic antique English earthenware and adding to its character. This is not a modern reproduction, but a true period piece with history and presence.

A timeless addition for collectors of English transferware, blue and white ceramics, or anyone drawn to layered, old-world interiors.
