Dinner Plate: Spode Copeland, Billingsley Rose, Earthenware, Staffordshire England, 1946

Produced from 1924 through 1969, Billingsley Rose was hand-colored in its early years, meaning each piece carries slight artistic variations in color strength and rose arrangement. Our dinner plates date to 1946 — some from May, others from November and December — all bearing the old red backstamp reading Spode's Jewel, Copeland, Spode England, Reg No 70392 U.S. Pat. June 15th 1926, Spode's Billingsley Rose. If a specific month matters to you, just ask and we'll match it.

We carry several Billingsley Rose pieces across the shop — cups, saucers, and salad plates — if you're building toward a set.
