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 scene is surrounded by an elaborate floral border and distinctive gadrooned edge. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese generously proportioned tea cups are particularly lovely examples of the Tower pattern, with the rich cobalt decoration continuing around the cups and across the coordinating six-inch saucers. Beautiful for afternoon tea or coffee, they also make wonderful additions to a collected blue and white tablescape or display. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cups bear the early blue printed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCopeland Spode’s Tower England\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e backstamp. The saucers bear the same printed Tower backstamp together with Copeland’s impressed factory mark registered under Rd. No. 90067. According to documented Copeland factory marks, the impressed mark was used from 1890 to approximately 1935, while the printed Tower backstamp was introduced around 1902.
