Plate c1994 Limited Edition
This small plate in a presentation box is decorated with Spode's Love Chase pattern, which depicts the Greek myth of Atalanta and Melanion. Briefly, this involved a race between Atalanta, a beautiful female athlete and Melanion, who managed to win the race by subterfuge using 3 golden apples supplied by Aphrodite. The characters are shown in motion, with Aphrodite keeping a watchful eye and the central cartouche depicts symbols of love. Love Chase was introduced in 1810. This plate, is already a rarity and an antique of the future, having been made at the historic Spode factory, which has now closed.
