Set of 11 Early Spode Ironstone Imari Dessert Dishes Made circa 1815
$1,650.00A set of 11 Imari style ironstone dessert dishes, made by Spode circa 1815.

So popular was this new medium that Queen Charlotte purchased her own stone china service from Spode’s Portugal Street showroom. These dessert dishes are early examples of Spode Stone China; in 1822 the company introduced an improved body marketed as “New Stone,” and thereafter items were branded as such.
