Spode Jewel

The Jewel shape design originates from the 1850s when a sumptuous dessert service was made - possibly to the order of Queen Victoria - to the design of W H Goss, the Art Director at Copeland's (Spode) at the time. In this original service, each of the embossed rings on the border was fitted with a mirror-backed glass gem simulating rubies, emeralds and topaz. The service was for presentation in 1857 but a mystery exists concerning the original set - for what occasion was it ordered?

The range of tableware items known as Jewel shape was modeled in the 1920s based on the design of the dessert plate, moulds of which survived at the Spode factory. Knowledge of the magnificent dessert service mentioned above does not seem to have been known at the time for the shape was attributed to a painting of a halo around a saint in a medieval painting. But the name Jewel must have been on the mould.

The range was withdrawn in 1989 but has made several reappearances. The most popular pattern on the shape is Billingsley Rose. You can still add to your collection of Spode Jewel.
