Spode "Lausanne"

Spode Lausanne (Y8579) has a crisp, formal look, using a clean white bone china body with cobalt blue border detail, fine black lines and gold-coloured edging. The design is restrained rather than heavily decorated, which gives pieces such as sauce boats, stands and serving dishes a smart table-service feel.

The pattern was produced during the 1990s and early 2000s, and sits comfortably among Spode’s more formal dinner services of the period. It has enough colour and gilding to feel dressy, but the plain white body keeps it versatile and easy to pair with other classic table settings.

Lausanne was made across a practical dinner, tea, coffee and serving service, including plates, bowls, cups, saucers, teapots, coffee pots, sauce boats, stands, platters and vegetable dishes. When matching the pattern, the cobalt blue rim, black line detail, gold-coloured trim, white bone china body and Spode backstamp are the main features to compare.

This is a useful pattern for customers keeping a formal Spode service complete, especially where serving pieces or everyday-used plates and bowls have been chipped or broken. The border and gilding are key to the look of Lausanne, so rim condition is particularly worth checking when choosing replacements.
