This bread and butter plate from the Copeland Spode Chinese Rose collection is an exquisite example from one of the earlier iterations of the beloved pattern. Bearing the registration number Rd No. 629859 (registered in 1913), this version predates the bolder, more saturated designs of later decades. It features a softly scalloped rim edged in green, a richly detailed floral border in shades of orange, pink, blue, and yellow, and a striking central tree floral motif outlined in fine brown linework—all hallmarks of the earlier Copeland print runs.
