<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 191559, member: 44&quot;]This was one of the most popular patterns made. Somewhere I read, I think, this pattern was taken/copied from Indian textile patterns. Coalport created the Indian Tree pattern c1800. I bet there were at least 25 makers who made a variant of this pattern called &quot;Indian Tree&quot; and/or &quot;India Tree.&quot; Such makers were Spode/Copeland/Wedgwood, Johnson Bros., Aynsley, Meakins, Ridgeway, Churchill, Coalport to Adams, Booth, Grimwade Bros., Castleton, Staffordshire and on and on to some Japanese makers such as Noritake.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my china sets is of a Copeland/Spode Indian Tree pattern (the rust/orange) that is titled on some pieces &quot;India Tree&quot; and on others &quot;Indian Tree.&quot; 1966 wedding gifts pieces are backstamped &quot;Copeland Spode England Indian Tree&quot; with the Copeland/Spode square, pieces bought in a duty free shop in Jamaica in 1971 are backstamped &quot;Spode England 2/959 India Tree From a Design c1730&quot;, and other odd pieces bought here and there stamped or impressed with &quot;Copeland Spode Imperial.&quot; The original pieces (the majority) dating from the 1960s seem to be of a better quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
