An impressive 45-piece vintage Spode “The Hunt” or “Herring's Hunt” dinner and tea service, featuring traditional English fox hunting scenes after the celebrated artwork of J.F. Herring Sr.

The service combines richly detailed equestrian hunting scenes with Spode's distinctive hunter-green borders and moulded riding-crop handles. It makes an impressive traditional country-house display and is increasingly difficult to find in such a substantial matching collection.
