Rome by Spode
Rome was introduced around 1811 and is the combination of two engravings taken from James Merigot's Views of Rome and Its Vicinity published in 1796-98 which was the source for several Spode patterns. The principal scene of the River Tiber shows the Basilica of St. Peter in the distance with the Bridge and Castel Sant'Angelo. Added to that is an out-of-place Trajan's Column and with the addition of the trees an attractive if not strictly factual scene is created. For many years the pattern was known as Tiber but this is incorrect. In 1996 the pattern was reintroduced as part of the Blue Room collection forming part of a set of six patterns in the Georgian Dresser Plates as well as on other items.
