Bridge pattern follows a Chinese porcelain design and there three versions were produced at Spode - Bridge I and Bridge II from the early 1800s and the third version known as Queen Charlotte or New Bridge from the late 1800s. The main theme of the pattern is the teahouse with the round window, the bridge on the left with the two men about to cross and a border with an unusual drape like motif.

Bridge I is seen on toilet ware and drinking vessels and, on pearlware, seems to predate Bridge II on bone china. The principal difference between these two patterns is the border. Bridge I has a rosette between the drape motif and Bridge II has a butterfly. Bridge II is scarcer and is found on bone china plates and dishes. The border is a closer copy of the Chinese examples.

The third version has become known as Queen Charlotte and is a later engraving correctly called New Bridge with pattern number 1/3822 of 1884. The new engraving appears to have been called Queen Charlotte following the publication of a souvenir booklet describing her visit to Spode which depicted this pattern at the top of the relevant page. As Queen Charlotte died in 1818 there is no connection between her and the pattern although the pattern name is sometimes printed on the ware!

New Bridge (Queen Charlotte) was also produced as pattern 1/3870 in bone china in Boston shape with gilded detail. The 1/3822 version of the pattern was on stone china with a gold edge.
