Old Salem by Spode
Old Salem was introduced in the 1920s. It was produced in several versions one of which was in a particular blue called Zaffres blue (Zaffres is thought to be a corruption of the word sapphire). The border features a strawberry pattern and the shipping scenes are derived from a set of engravings purchased around 1892 by Copelands from the sale of stock of another pottery manufacturer — William Brownfield and Sons of Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent. The shipping scenes have also been called Brownfields Ships and Albion Ships. The name Old Salem is thought to have been chosen to suggest a connection with the New England seaport near Boston. It is one of the patterns brought back in the Blue Room collection.
