Antique Spode Shell Shaped Dishes Orange and Blue Imari Pattern England Circa 1820
$285.00This pair of Spode shell-shaped dishes was made in England around 1820 and printed in the classic orange and blue palette associated with Imari decoration. The lively color combination immediately gives the pair decorative authority, while the sculptural shell form adds movement and visual interest.
The printed design shows a stylized garden scene with blue rockwork, flowering peonies and chrysanthemums in orange, and bamboo rising behind the flowers. The limited palette of orange and blue allows the composition to remain clear and balanced, with the strong blue elements anchoring the design and the warm orange flowers providing contrast.
Spode was one of the most important English pottery manufacturers of the early nineteenth century and played a central role in adapting Asian decorative traditions for the English market. The orange and blue color scheme reflects the long influence of Japanese Imari porcelains that began arriving in Europe during the seventeenth century.
The molded shell form enhances the design by creating gentle curves that catch the light across the surface, adding dimension to the printed decoration. Dishes of this shape were often used for serving desserts or sweetmeats and were also valued for display.

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.
Josiah Spode II began producing stone china in 1813 as an alternative to porcelain. Stone china, also known as ironstone due to its hard and durable fabric, became famous for its porcelain-like greyish blue glaze and glassy surface. 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.
Dishes are marked with pattern number 2283 in iron red and feature the printed Spode Stone China mark in underglaze blue.
Dimensions: 8 in. Dm x 1/2 in. H (20.3 cm Dm x 1.4 cm H)
Condition: Excellent overall. Light wear to some enamels and gilding on dishes commensurate with age and use. The plates with the least and most amounts of wear are pictured.
