Spode

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spode is an English manufacturer of pottery and porcelain, based in Stoke-on-Trent.

The company was founded by Josiah Spode, who earned renown in the ceramic business for perfecting the blue underglaze printing process in 1784 and for co-developing the formula for fine bone china.

He opened a factory in Stoke-on-Trent in 1767 and in 1776 developed the current Spode factory. His business in creamware (a fine cream-coloured earthenware) and in pearlware (a fine white-glazed earthenware) was very successful.

The Spode Society (see spodesociety.co.uk) was founded in 1986 for collectors and admirers of Spode to learn more about the Spode and Copeland families and the production of Spode wares.
