Description:
An Spode's Imperial B pattern number 113 the so-called Frog pattern, part dinner service, English circa 1825, comprising 15 plates, 3 dishes and a comport, This pattern is shown on an earthenware dinner plate with gadrooned edge and is printed in blue with brown coloured in underglaze. The name may have originated as a factory name. If you look at the outside of the pattern you will see an unusual frog-like figure that seems to hang rather inexplicably from one of the leaves in the large vase. Frog was a popular pattern for Spode, and it was produced in a number of different color combinations. It was first made in 1821 and was still being produced in the Spode New Stone body in 1833, when Copeland & Garrett took over the Spode works. The Spode Museum Collection holds an example of this pattern on a plate with the caption in script on the back: 'Used at the Coronation of His Majesty George the 4th - 19th July 1821.', various
