Grasshopper with Group Border

Dimensions:

  • Diameter: 9.6 inches

Description:

This version of the Grasshopper pattern has been printed in blue underglaze on an indented stone china soup dish.   It varies from Spode's first design in that the border pattern has been taken from the Group pattern (P814).  The Chinese porcelain hand-painted plate on which the central pattern was based is illustrated alongside a Spode plate with the Stone China mark as seen here in Robert Copeland, Spode's Willow Pattern and Other Designs After the Chinese, p. 143, Wellington House, London, 1999. The central pattern has a band of Catherine Wheel scrolls framing it.
