About the Item

The Greek Revival: Copeland Garrett Centaur Dish Object: Rectangular Transfer-Printed Serving Dish (Platter) Maker: Copeland Garrett (Successors to Spode) Pattern: Greek Pattern (P906-11) Date: Circa 1833-1847 Medium: Earthenware, Underglaze Blue Transfer Print Dimensions: 16 1/2 inches x 13 inches x 1 1/2 inches (41.91 cm x 33.02 cm x 3.81 cm). Myth and Mathematics on the Table This striking blue-and-white dish, produced by Copeland Garrett (the firm that succeeded Spode), is a quintessential example of the Neo-classical Greek Pattern. The design, introduced by Spode in 1806, was created in response to the massive demand for classical imagery that accompanied the Greek Revival architectural and design movement sweeping Europe. The dense overall pattern features complex borders of neoclassical motifs and urns set against a delicate fruit and flower ground. The centerpiece is the stunning oval medallion depicting "Centaurs Battling Theseus." This specific scene was not a random choice; it was lifted directly from the highly influential Collection of Engravings from Ancient Vases by Wilhelm Tischbein, a catalogue published in the 1790s detailing Greek artifacts owned by Sir William Hamilton. By drawing inspiration from these seminal archaeological texts, the pottery elevated its product from simple dinnerware to a token of classical education and refined taste. Historical Context: From Spode to Copeland Garrett The mark, Copeland Garrett around Late Spode, dates this piece precisely to the transition period between 1833 and 1847. During this time, the celebrated Spode factory temporarily operated under the new partnership. The "Greek" pattern's enduring popularity during this shift speaks to the success of transfer-printing—a method that allowed complex, finely detailed designs derived from expensive copperplate engravings to be mass-produced affordably onto earthenware. This technique democratized classical beauty, allowing the middle and upper classes to dine surrounded by images of ancient history and mythology.
