Spode ashette or medium-sized platter picturing "The Crow and the Pitcher" · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: Spode ashette or medium-sized platter picturing "The Crow and the Pitcher"
Description: 1835? Spode ashette or medium-sized platter picturing "The Crow and the Pitcher" in their series "Aesop's Fables." 8½" x 6". £28 from newcowper through Ebay, Nov., '19.

As with each 19th-century Spode piece I see, the design here is exquisite. I would have to check with the sort of people who ran Downton Abbey to know just when an ashette like this would be used, but it would be lovely, even though I wonder about people taking food off of platters showing crows and rocks!
Date: 1835?
