Canterbury Fine China by Spode
Canterbury takes its inspiration from an earlier design from about 1891 featuring hand painted wild harebells by one of the company's premier artists: Felix Xavier Abraham. Delicate flowers often inspired the artists at Spode and were later translated into well-established patterns.
Many flowers have different 'common' names but one single botanical or Latin name. Canterbury Bells, the common name of the flower from which the pattern Canterbury takes its name, are Campanulas of which there are many cultivated and wild varieties. Canterbury was produced on the Chelsea shape, while Campanula is a similar pattern which was produced on the Stafford shape.
Spode Canterbury (Y8497) was produced from 1984 to 2005. The gold trim on this pattern means it is not safe for use in the microwave. If you need replacement or additional pieces for your collection of Spode Canterbury, monitor this page on a weekly basis for new listings.

When it comes to finding Spode that is difficult to find in stores near you, one of your best resources for acquiring the items you want are sites like Amazon, Etsy, Replacements and eBay, where there are a lot of wonderful finds still in the original boxes. We all receive those odd items as gifts that we have no need for and never use. Yet, one person's junk could be exactly the treasure you want.
Please Note: Not all Spode is safe for use in the microwave. Patterns with gold or platinum decorations around the rim should not be used in your microwave because microwaves can not pass through metal. If in doubt, use this simple test: Is this Utensil Safe for the Microwave?
