Byron

Spode’s Byron pattern was registered with the British Patent Office on June 19th 1851 with registered number 79300. The registered version of the design shows a design with a trellis border and a scene depicting a girl giving a drink to a boy. This design does not appear to have been used in Spode’s Byron pattern tableware but it does record the first use of the trellis border design.
Spode’s Byron pattern for tableware was first produced in the 1930s and used a different scene for the centre of each different shape within a service. The most popular version of the pattern had pattern number S518 and was introduced in 1933. The pattern was printed in brown and then hand coloured.
