Fabricated in the 1920s English by the prestigious Copeland Spode porcelain works, this Jewel pattern consistsof a double handled cake tray and 11 matching plates. The pieces feature a lace pattern rim with the cake platter adorned with a pink rose spray in the center.

Tradition is that this pattern was originally designed by W.H. Goss, art director for the company and was presented to Queen Victoria. The original version, which this is, is known as Spode's Jewel and bears English registration #70392 and a U.S. patent dated June 15th, 1926. The later version, marked Billingley Rose, was introduced in 1930, so this set is believed to to have been fabricated between 1926 and 1930.
