This porcelain coffee can shaped cup and saucer were produced in England by Spode in 1812. The design, number 709, is referred to as one of Spode’s “Candlelight” patterns. The Spode museum in Stoke on Trent has a tea set of this pattern on display. The saucer has a diameter of 5 1/2 inches and is 1 1/8 inches deep. The cup is 2 1/2 inches high. The ground color is cobalt blue. There are cartouches with brightly hand painted flowers. It has the most elaborate hand gilding with seashells and other ornaments covering the surfaces. The museum display indicates that this was made for “a rich man in his castle”. When you look at the quality of decoration you can understand. Condition: The saucer has light crazing. The set is otherwise in excellent condition.
