The following information is quoted from "Spode History" :
"This cup is bone china, London shape and decorated in pattern 2812 of about 1820. This pattern of pink roses with gilded detail was an expensive design. Not only because of the gold but the pink ceramic colour was a derivative of gold. Note these are not repeated identical roses but each one is different. I particularly like the one inside the cup, facing a right-handed drinker. It shows the underside of the flower. Incidentally the painting, gilding and burnishing were different skills probably carried out by at least 3 different people. So with the various stages of making, handling, dipping, decorating, several firings, burnishing, selecting, packing and despatch this item would have passed through many, many hands."
