Spode Copeland Duncan Rural ScenesStoke Upon TrentRARE Red Polychrome WARE PLATEGrazing Sheep near a fence with a stunning hops and vines borderIn 1849, W T Copeland commissioned artist Edward Duncan to paint a series of sepia water colors to inspire a selection of tableware. In the following year Copeland Spode registered the new Rural Scenes pattern. It was produced subsequently without a border design and was called Duncan Scenes. Around 1878 the production was limited and printed in brown on cream bodied eartherware in Amien embossed shape with Gadroon rims. The Copleand family retained a dinner set in this pattern. This plate is a wonderful example of the series...for collectors or for a lover of sheep and rural scenery.Measures: just barely under 8" Condition: Good, a little wear around the edges and a few brown spots from age.
