Hi fellow china lovers:
Great site and such alot of information! I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have a set of 3 footed cups and saucers with the mark of s.p. in a diamond shape on the bottom of each. While reading through this site, I discovered that early Spode did not mark all china items that were part of a set (apparently only a choice few of the items in the set were hallmarked with the Spode logo) and other items were marked with the decorator's or workman's mark).
These cups and saucers were my Grandmothers. I've attached a pic of them and the mark as well. I'm hoping someone will recognize the mark or be able to shed some light on them. Thank you all!
**I've been trying to upload two photos, but cannot seem to do so. Here is a link to pics of the items.
