JSG ESTATE LIQUIDATION

This is an exceptional large-format collection of Spode's iconic 'Tower' pattern in the highly sought-after red/pink colorway, representing one of the most recognized and collectible transferware patterns in English ceramic history. The set comprises an estimated 80+ pieces including dinner plates, salad/luncheon plates, bread and butter plates, soup bowls, cereal bowls, cups and saucers, a large pitcher/jug, teapot with lid, serving bowls, a large oval platter, rectangular serving tray, and additional serving pieces — making this a truly comprehensive table service. Each piece features the classic Tower scene depicting an Italian landscape with a stone arch bridge, tower ruins, tall trees, and figures, all surrounded by an elaborate floral and geometric border in rich cranberry-red on a warm cream ironstone body, with the distinctive Spode rope-twist and beaded embossed edge treatment that is a hallmark of this pattern. Spode introduced the Tower pattern in 1815, making it one of the longest continuously produced transferware patterns in the world, originally inspired by engravings of Italian scenery and produced at the Spode factory in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The red colorway is particularly desirable among collectors and commands a premium over the more common blue version, as it was produced in smaller quantities and has a warmer, more vibrant visual presence on the table. Condition is overall Very Good to Excellent for the majority of pieces; the collection shows light utensil marks and minor surface wear consistent with careful use, with no chips or cracks observed on the primary pieces visible in photographs, though buyers should note that with 80+ pieces some individual items may show additional wear not captured in overview photography. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a complete, large-scale Spode Tower red dinnerware service suitable for immediate use, display, or as a significant collector's acquisition in the Denver Colorado area.
