Attributed to Spode Pottery. Founded by Josiah Spode in 1776 on High Street (Church Str) Stoke-on-Trent, England. Not marked by Spode, however research suggests that this is a variant pattern, a combination of 2 separate but similar looking patterns known to have been made by Spode.

Marked on the back: Alker, Westmorland Street, Dublin.

Though this piece was made in England, it was made for the Irish Market. Distributed through a retailer in Dublin, Circa 1820's
