Click to Shop for Spode Pottery

In the early 1760's, a man who is a 6 year old had watched his father buried in a pauper's grave, eventually opened his own small pottery. In the space of the next 30 years he was to make a unique contribution to ceramic art, and found a tradition of excellence that continues to this day.

In 1784, Josiah Spode perfected the process of blue underglaze printing on earthenware, which as the history books record, was not only enough to ensure his reputation for posterity, but was the essential catalyst for the phenomenal development of English tableware that was to follow.

He then went on to make the single most important discovery in the history of his industry-the formula for Fine Bone China - which was to make the name, Spode famous throughout the world.

Today Spode still operates on the same historic site in Stoke on Trent. In the factory artists and craftsmen maintain the exclusive Spode style and quality, products are still made using traditional techniques and there remains a commitment to nurturing individual skills and talents, preserving distinctive shapes and doing things in the proper way, the original way that is, unmistakably Spode.
