Superb Early 19th century "Blue and White Tower Pattern Invalid Cup".

When the Copeland family owned the company from 1833, the Spode brand was always used alongside their name often styled Copeland late Spode, you will find this mark to the base of the cup.

Invalid feeders came in a multitude of shapes, colours and designs. Some were plain porcelain, some had blue transfers such as this example, which is called the "Tower" pattern.

Sadly this particular feeder has been damaged and restored at some point, but it is still a significant piece and displays wonderfully.

HEIGHT: 17.5 cms to the lip.

DEFECTS:

Restoration to the side panel as shown in the digital image.

Small hairline crack to the rear of the cup.
