Copeland Spode 6 piece toilet set decorated with hand coloured King pattern

Description

Copeland Spode 6 piece toilet set decorated with hand coloured King pattern. Item 2510.

This Copeland Spode 6 piece toilet set is decorated with the hand coloured “King” pattern which was issued in 1892. The printed background is of densely packed small white leaves against a green ground, with the larger leaves, branches, flowers and butterflies coloured by hand. The set comprises a wash jug and basin, a soap dish, a toothbrush holder, a flannel or face washer holder and a lidded bucket with a wicker carrying handle, for the waste water. The soap dish and the flannel holder both have pierced lids to allow the water to drain into the dish below. The soap dish has a small chip-8 mm x 4 mm (5/16ths x 1/8ths of an inch)  to the pierced cover and it has lost its lid. There is a smallish chip to the base of the toothbrush holder, and a crack to the base of the jug handle. All in all though, it is a very decorative set. The base of the flannel dish shows the impressed mark for October 1925.
