Its romantic landscape depicts the Ponte Salaro near Rome, derived from a late eighteenth-century view of the Italian countryside. Rendered in a wonderfully rich, dark cobalt blue against a warm creamy ground, the pattern is one of Spode’s most enduring blue and white designs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis classic single egg cup features the richly detailed Tower landscape wrapped around the cup above a simple creamy white pedestal foot. Petite yet beautifully decorated, it remains perfectly suited to its original purpose for serving a soft-boiled egg and would make a charming addition to a collected breakfast or brunch table. Beyond the table, its diminutive scale makes it equally appealing displayed among a collection of antique blue and white china or repurposed as a tiny vessel for a flower or other decorative accent. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe underside bears the old blue printed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCopeland Spode’s Tower England\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e backstamp. According to documented Copeland factory marks, this Tower backstamp was introduced around 1902. No impressed production date code is present on these egg cups; however, numerous pieces acquired alongside them bear factory date codes from the 1910s and 1920s.
