Ornate tea pot. "Copeland-Spode is the modern name of a firm which dates to 1770 and follows the history of generations of Spodes and Copelands. Josiah Spode I was the master potter at the Stoke-on-Trent factory still operated by Copeland-Spode today. Josiah II opened a showroom in London where he marketed the bone china he and his father had perfected. After 1797, William Copeland managed the showroom, later succeeded by his son. Despite numerous changes of name, Copeland-Spode products have been of consistently high quality throughout the firm's history." - Decorative Golf Collectibles p. 23.
