An beautiful blue transferware antique scalloped edge serving dish by Spode from the 19th Century. The pattern is also around the edge of the dish.

The underside is impressed with SPODE and a number. It is incredibly hard to make out the number but it may be 13.

Width 25 cm (widest point)
Depth 18.5 cm (deepest point)
Height 4.5 cm

This piece is heavily crazed on the underside but much less so on the front. It has no chips or cracks. Please see below re condition.

Please note:
Antique British china is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s, and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation, and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for antique items and need to be taken into account.
