Spode Edwardian Childhood Blue Egg Plate

The Edwardian Childhood pattern is one of Spode's most endearing blue and white designs, its alphabet border and playful child illustrations drawing directly on the visual language of the Edwardian nursery, and this egg plate, with its softly raised central well, is one of the more charming forms in which the pattern was produced.

Made by Spode of Stoke-on-Trent, this egg plate features the Edwardian Childhood transfer pattern in blue on white: an alphabet border running around the rim, child motif illustrations, and a gently raised central well sized for a boiled egg. Spode's Edwardian Childhood range was produced across the 20th century and has built a dedicated collector following, particularly among those drawn to the nostalgic quality of the nursery aesthetic and the consistent quality of Spode's blue and white transfer printing. The pattern name and Spode mark are present to the base.
