Pattern Category: Based on Chinese Originals Alternate Names: Two Temples II, Variation Broseley Object Type: Wares for Breakfast and Tea Dimensions: Source: Chinese Original Description:
This pattern was copied directly from a Chinese original design and was one of the earliest printed patterns produced on porcelain at Caughley
c. 1780. The
pattern was used mainly on tea services and it is said to have been named
after a neighboring town, Broseley. Josiah Spode recognized the temple and
garden (or Two Temples) in the pattern and thus the Spode factory has used
the title Two Temples II, Variation Broseley. The pattern is shown here on a round bone china tea plate printed in a light blue underglaze. Drakard/Holdway Pattern Number P614 Mark Types and IDsTransfer Printed 33
