Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

No publisher date (circa 1930). Boards lightly toned (as usual). Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 20 pp. Includes three color plates, a page showing the various Spode-Copeland trade marks, and an engraved frontispiece of Josiah Spode. Charles Dickens, best known for his serialized novels such as Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol, and Oliver Twist, first published this short piece in Household Words, which was released in 1852. In it he imagines a trip through the Spode-Copeland China Works, describing the shaping, engraving, glazing, and firing processes. Spode was an English potter and founder of the English Spode pottery works which became famous for the quality of its wares. He is often credited with the establishment of blue underglaze transfer printing in Staffordshire in 1781 - 84, and with the definition and introduction in c. 1789 - 91 of the improved formula for bone china (a form of soft-paste porcelain) which thereafter remained the standard for all English wares of this kind. William Taylor Copeland, his partner, was a British businessman and politician who served as Lord Mayor of London and a Member of Parliament. The family traces its descent back to John of Copeland, who in 1346 captured the King of Scotland at the Battle of Neville's Cross. Copeland was the only son of William Copeland, partner of Josiah Spode in the Stoke Potteries, of Staffordshire and of Portugal Street, London. He succeeded his father as head of the porcelain firm in Portugal Street, London and eventually bought out the interests of the Spode family in the business in the Potteries and London. He ran the business in partnership with Thomas Garrett between 1833 and 1847. After the dissolution of the Copeland and Garret partnership, it traded as W.T. Copeland and Sons. In 1866 Copeland was appointed china and glass manufacturer to the Prince of Wales. He became a director of the London and Birmingham Railway Company. He was also a major investor in Fenton Park Colliery. William Taylor Copeland was a Director of the North Staffordshire Railway Company from 1846 to 1852. He was also the first Chairman of the Provisional Directors of the Trent Valley Railway Company (TVRC), appointed on 11 April 1844 at their first meeting. He resigned his post in February 1845, his letter of resignation being read and accepted at the TVRC Board meeting on 15 February. His successor was Edmund Peel, brother of Sir Robert Peel. In 1826 he married Sarah Yates. They had ten children, of whom a daughter and four sons survived. The sons were William Fowler Mountford Copeland (1828 - 1908), Edward Capper Copeland (1835 - 1875), Alfred James Copeland (1837 - 1921), and Richard Pirie Copeland (1841 - 1913). His cousin, William Copeland Astbury, wrote about William Taylor Copeland, the family, and the Copeland Spode business in his diaries, 1831-1848.…
