Gainsborough by Spode
Gainsborough was first introduced in 1933. The pattern is based on the paintings of Harry Hammersley, one of Spode's famous Victorian artists, who specialized in painting fruits and flowers. Gainsborough is one of a group of pattern produced in the 1930s developing the theme of floral studies. Printed and painted underglaze, Gainsborough demonstrates the brilliance of Spode's colors.
The pattern was usually produced on Marlborough shape but until 1955 other shapes were offered particularly for the UK market where Rutland shape was offered for hollowware. Gainsborough was retired in 1998, but brought back into production from 2000 to 2004.
