Ovale schotel van hardgebakken aardewerk, Spode ware, creamware. c. 1790 - 1820

This oval creamware dish, produced by Spode between c. 1790 and 1820, exemplifies the refined taste of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The dish is decorated with a delicate pattern of stylized floral motifs in a subtle brown glaze, encircled by a thin blue band and a band of raised dots. The simple yet elegant design reflects the popularity of neoclassical aesthetics in the period, which emphasized clean lines and understated ornamentation. Spode, a renowned English pottery company, was known for its high-quality creamware, a type of earthenware that was prized for its durability and versatility. This dish would have been a part of a larger tableware set, used for serving food or for decorative purposes.
