Spode ButtercupThe earliest record of Buttercup is a hand-painted on bone china in 1885. It is thought to have been designed by Francis Xavier Abrahams, who worked at Copelands between 1882 and 1902 and was for a short time Art Director. Following the engraving of a copper plate for printing, Buttercup appeared in much its popular form on earthenware with pattern in 1894 and on the Chelsea Wicker shape. A different version was in reds and browns known as Mandalay, was marketed in USA before 1939. However, the best known version was first introduced in 1924 and remained in production until 1992. In 2000 the pattern was reintroduced on Chelsea Wicker shape. You can still add to your collection of Spode Buttercup. Just monitor this page on a weekly basis for new listings.
