Description

View Spode Copeland Alden S2280 Fruit Floral 9" Luncheon Plates Set of 4 J Price with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This "one design per plate" approach was a signature feature of the Alden line, making each piece in a set individually collectible while still coordinating beautifully as a group. The plates are backstamped "Copeland Spode England, S.2280" with individual pattern numbers hand-marked beneath the stamp. Set of four vintage Spode Copeland "Alden" pattern luncheon plates, made in Stoke-on-Trent, England, circa 1939–1957. Each plate measures approximately 9 inches in diameter and features a scalloped, embossed daisy basket-weave border in creamy white, surrounding a hand-colored transferware center vignette of fruit and flowers. No two plates in this set are identical — each center bouquet is a unique combination of peaches, plums, grapes, pears, roses, tulips, and wildflowers, all signed "J. Price" within the design, referencing the pattern's original botanical artist.

Detailed photos should be reviewed for a full assessment of condition. Condition: Good vintage condition overall. No chips or cracks observed along any of the scalloped rims. Fine surface crazing is present in the glaze on the reverse of each plate, consistent with age and typical of vintage bone china/porcelain of this era — this is a manufacturing/aging characteristic rather than damage. A few faint surface marks and light age spotting are visible on the backs of a couple of plates, consistent with age and storage rather than use-related wear. Colors and gilt-free transferware detailing remain crisp and vibrant with no fading noted. Please review photos closely, as they are considered part of the condition description.
