HISTORY/MARKS: The 37 year old Josiah Spode founded his Spode Pottery Company at Stoke-on-Trent in 1770 after having worked with many of the best potters in the Stoke-on-Trent area from the age of 16. He is credited with the development of a winning formula for making fine bone china and the perfection of blue under-glaze printing. Three of his original transferware patterns are still being produced today: Tower Blue, Willow, and Blue Italian. In 1833, Spode Pottery was sold to William Taylor Copeland and remained in the Copeland family until 1966. By 1976, the company had become part of the Royal Worcester Spode Group. Today, it is part of the Portmeirion Group and continues the production of high quality fine bone china at Stoke-on-Trent. The mark on this set is identified in Robert Copeland’s Spode & Copeland Marks as mark #274 used 1954-1956. The registration number is 659905. The Rockingham Road pattern is described as a fruit, floral and insect pattern and was registered on March 24, 1917 for Harrods. In 1954, Spode dropped the 's to become just Copeland. So since this trio has both on different pieces, we conclude the circa is 1954.
