Cheap Spode Tower Pink 9-Ounce Sugar Bowl and Cover (Kitchen) Price

The Tower Pink pattern is an original archived design from the early 1800s. Referred to as "transferware," the elaborate pattern is engraved by hand onto copper plates and then transferred onto the ceramic by skilled artisans using pink underglaze, which was perfected back in 1835. A color variation of the popular and original Tower Blue pattern, Tower Pink depicts The Bridge of Salaro in Rome, Italy, around the exterior of this 9-ounce sugar bowl. The exquisitely landscaped scene comes from an original 1814 engraving. Fantastic floral borders along the rims of the bowl and lid show influences from early Chinese porcelain designs. Scalloped, ribbed, and slightly flared edges form the classic Gadroon shape that enhances the bowl's beauty.

Made of high-quality glazed earthenware, this sugar bowl is delicate in appearance but has been updated to meet today's standards by being microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Although durable enough for everyday use, most will want to reserve this collectible pattern for display and special occasion dining. --Cristina Vaamonde
