Early SPODE Sucrier with Lid                                        On SALE (Etsy comps @800)
Pattern 341 White body with hand decorated gold leaves and gold trim
c 1805   George III 1760-1820 (though he abdicated authority in 1811 from blindness & insanity)

The SPODE founder, Josiah Spode, began his business around 1770 and died in 1797 which was the time span which could qualify this piece as being a SPODE I Collectible if made by him, or as a SPODE II thereafter. Josiah Spode was the first Englishman to create a porcelain formular purported to be in the late 1790's, it being a state secret of the Chinese previously.

Correctly dating and attributing the early Spode pieces with and without pattern numbers is sometimes a labyrinth.

Pattern number 341 was dated by The Spode Trust as having been used between c1780-1790.

However, their archives added that patterns with a "new oval" shape were introduced in 1802 and if made from porcelain could be further dated to c1805. 

Though upon it's purchase the attached ticket to this piece with a creamer was labeled "felspar", it has not as yet been determined as such and I am assuming it to be either felspar or porcelain.

With reference to pattern 341, Robert Copeland's book,  Spode & Copeland Marks and other Relevant Intelligence, p.117, states,  
Very early series recorded in un-named book, mostly neat border patterns on-glaze.  14-710  c1794 to 1800. 

The date of this piece by pattern, shape and material is debatable amongst the experts ranging between 1780 to 1805. 1780-1790 by pattern number,  1794-1800 by description and pattern number (Copeland) and 1802 by it's shape up to 1805 by shape and porcelain composition.

Hence, I have conservatively listed this 341 SUCRIER as c1805 to accommodate the above assessments.
