Spode Copelands China Blue Tower w Gold Scalloped edge Round Mezzanine Strainer

Antique Spode Copelands Staffordshire Mezzanine/ Meat Strainer Drainer in the Spode's Tower Blue- Royal Saxon/ Flow blue pattern. Collectors Dream! The early Spode Copelands bone china is glossy, thick, and strong, and the Blue and white Tower scenes are bright and crisp. The antique drainer is in excellent condition. The drainer had a very interesting 19C repair that was made to the durable Spode bone china, as you will see in the picture! There are photos of the front gold gilt scalloped edge in the exact spot where the repair was done on the back side. Amazing!! The light bright gold gilding on the Spode Blue Tower pattern is really rather rare to find and the gold rim and trim in the center drain hole are mint! The mezzanine drainer is in great working order and a delightful piece for any Spode Copelands, Staffordshire collectors! The repair may be as old as the meat drainer, so I suspect this piece could end up in a museum in SW or West Midlands of England some day.
