<p>[QUOTE="JDC, post: 838428, member: 11628"]The numbers can refer to a certain piece such as "square bowl" or even "blue willow square bowl", a pattern number, or simply used as a "batch number" for quality control reasons. The same bowl may have been produced with a different transfer or pattern so this could have been a way to archive what went where or how many of what received certain patterns, or even which kiln they were fired or glazed in. Spode has an extensive history that dates back to the 1700s and there's a ton of information online if you have the time. Research like this can be very time consuming but worth it in my opinion.</p><p><a href="https://spodehistory.blogspot.com/2011/01/dating-your-spode-pieces.html?m=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://spodehistory.blogspot.com/2011/01/dating-your-spode-pieces.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">https://spodehistory.blogspot.com/2011/01/dating-your-spode-pieces.html?m=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://spode46.rssing.com/chan-46736973/latest.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://spode46.rssing.com/chan-46736973/latest.php" rel="nofollow">http://spode46.rssing.com/chan-46736973/latest.php</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
