Pate Sur Pate heavy slip border detail on grey toned blue ground.<BR><BR>Trio consists of 2.75 inch high cup, 5.25 inch saucer and 6 inch tea plate and are all in pristine condition. Black Spode Copeland England backstamp. Circa 1930 - 1940.<BR><BR>Pate Sur Pate, literally ‘paste on paste’ is the building up of a picture or design on a piece of porcelain by the careful application of layers of hand painted slip (liquid porcelain clay the consistency of thick cream) - possibly the most skillful, time consuming and costly of all ceramic decoration processes. A thin layer of white, or light coloured, porcelain slip applied to a darker unfired ground layer will achieve a degree of translucency when the piece goes through the firing kiln.<BR><BR>Successive layers applied prior to the firing will retain that translucency to a lesser degree until finally, when enough layers have been applied, the translucency will be all but lost. A skillful artist, and there were never that many of them, can manipulate the layers to produce a unique work of art of incredible beauty. Pate sur Pate requires the skill of an artist.<BR><BR>A lovely gift or addition to your private collection.
