A charming pair of vintage Spode Billingsley Rose pieces from 1926, featuring a 7-inch bread and butter plate paired with a matching cream soup bowl. Both pieces bear the desirable red backstamp dating them to 1926.

The Billingsley Rose pattern was named after William Billingsley, an important English porcelain artist who changed floral decoration on fine china. Each piece displays hand-painted pink roses with detailed green leaves on white porcelain.

This pairing creates a perfect light lunch or first course set - the cream soup bowl designed specifically for serving creamy soups, bisques, or consommés, accompanied by the bread plate for rolls or crackers. These specialized serving pieces showcase the formal dining traditions of the early 20th century.

Style Notes:
These pieces represent classic English formal dining style of the 1920s. They work beautifully in traditional settings and pair nicely with silver serving pieces and fine table linens.
The cream soup bowl is increasingly hard to find and represents a more formal era of dining when specialized pieces were created for each course. Together with the bread plate, they make a charming display of vintage serving pieces.
