Spode Copeland Chelsea Garden Fluted Sugar Bowl (Open)

This is a vintage fine bone china open sugar bowl or waste bowl manufactured by Spode Copeland in England. The piece belongs to the highly collectible 'Chelsea Garden' pattern, which features a vibrant floral motif of blue, pink, and terracotta wildflowers. The bowl is distinguished by its 'Chelsea Shape'—a scalloped, fluted, or gadrooned body that provides a tactile vertical texture and an elegant undulating rim. The ceramic is a creamy white, characteristic of high-quality English earthenware/bone china. The base is clearly marked with the Spode Copelands China green stamp, 'ENGLAND', and the pattern name 'CHELSEA GARDEN' in red script. There is also a small red numeral '5' and an artist's mark, indicating hand-finished detailing or inspection. This specific backstamp style suggests a manufacturing date in the mid-20th century, likely between 1950 and 1970. The condition appears excellent with No visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing; the glaze remains glossy and the floral lithograph/transferware is crisp with saturated colors. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise molding of the flutes and the delicate application of the pattern across the curved exterior surface.
