Crafted from fine bone china in England, each plate in this exquisite set features the Sida & Acacia floral motif — inspired by botanical engravings from the 1790s — framed by lavish hand-applied 22-karat gold scrollwork and softly scalloped rims.

Material: Fine Bone China with 22k Gold Detailing
Size: 8" (20.3 cm)
Condition: Mint condition – no chips, cracks, repairs, or gold wear

The backstamp confirms its English origin with the Y8519-K pattern code and floral name “Sida & Acacia,” identifying it as a genuine, first-quality example of Spode’s original Stafford Flowers series. Produced in England before later manufacturing moved overseas, these pieces represent the finest era of the line’s production and are increasingly rare in matched sets of six.

A cherished favorite among collectors of botanical porcelain and fine English china, Stafford Flowers bridges historical design with timeless elegance. The luminous white glaze, naturalistic floral artwork, and 22k gold embellishment make this set ideal for garden teas, spring entertaining, or high-end china cabinet display.

Whether elevating a formal dessert service, gifted to a lover of floral porcelain, or preserved as an heirloom, this set captures the artistry and grace of Spode’s botanical legacy.
