About the Item

Greek Revival Dining: Set of 10 Spode "Phliasian Horseman" Soup Plates (c. 1806–1820) A fine set of 10 early 19th-century blue and white transfer-printed pottery soup plates by Spode, featuring a distinct scene from their celebrated "Greek" pattern series. The central tondo depicts "Refreshment for Phliasian Horseman," illustrating a triumphant moment from the Peloponnesian War where a mounted warrior is offered a drink by a maiden. This central narrative is framed by Spode's signature floral ground border, interspersed with four classical urns and shaped reserves containing further Neoclassical figures. The design source is historically documented: the images were adapted from "Outlines from the Figures and Compositions upon the Greek, Roman and Etruscan Vases of the late Sir William Hamilton," engraved by Mr. Kirk. This pattern is notable in Spode's history as likely the first "multi-scene" service, where different shapes (like soup plates vs. dinner plates) featured different central subjects. Condition: Good antique condition. Glaze remains glossy and the blue transfer is crisp. Note: One plate has a hairline crack (as mentioned). The remaining 9 appear free of significant damage. Markings: Impressed: Various workman's tally marks including "1", "2", and "4". Painted: Blue workman's marks to the underside. Measurements: Diameter: 9 1/4 inches (23.5 cm) Height: 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) Literature Reference: Drakard Holdway, Spode Transfer Printed Ware 1784-1833: Pages 248–250, Pattern Number P906-10. Spode Museum Trust: Documented as part of the "Greek" series introduced in 1806 to cater to the Regency taste for antiquity. Provenance: Private New Jersey Collection (Ref: VM98408)
