Copeland Spode Elaine Soft Blue Cream Soup Set, 1939
Free Shipping
Bring a piece of pre-WWII English elegance to your home with this beautiful, authentic Copeland Spode cream soup bowl and matching underplate set, crafted in May 1939 at the legendary Stoke-on-Trent factory in England just months before the onset of World War II.
Featuring the iconic "Mansard" geometric body shape characterized by an exquisite embossed diamond texture on the rim, this set is decorated with the classic "Elaine" pattern: a delicate soft blue laurel leaf vine on a warm ivory ground with a glossy finish. The two-handled bowl is designed to allow diners to delicately lift it to their lips, a hallmark of refined English table service.
The remarkable provenance is written right into the pottery: an impressed factory date stamp on the underside of the plate verifies the clay was pressed in May 1939. A perfect accent for a coastal kitchen, an elegant afternoon tea display, or as a standalone historic treasure that tells its own story.
