History: These plates belong to the "Royal Jasmine" line by Copeland Spode, with the specific pattern variation titled Milford. Produced in the mid-20th century, this line features delicate floral sprays in soft blues, yellows, and greens, enclosed in scrolled lattice-style borders—classic of Spode’s refined post-war dinnerware.
 
 
The "Copeland" in the mark references W.T. Copeland & Sons, who carried on the legacy of Josiah Spode. The Copeland-Spode branding was common from the late 19th century up through the 1970s, with this particular green backstamp typical of the 1950s–60s. The floral motifs here are transfer-printed with hand-colored detailing, showcasing the blend of machine and artisan work common in the period.
 
 
These were produced for both everyday table use and formal dining, and were part of large sets that included plates, tea cups, bowls, and platters. While not among Spode’s most collectible patterns like “Blue Italian” or “Tower,” the Milford variation holds charm for its cheerful colors and elegant curves.
