Spode Tableware

Spode tableware has a rich legacy that blends innovation, artistry, and English heritage. Founded in 1770 by Josiah Spode in Stoke-on-Trent, England, the brand revolutionized ceramics by perfecting the formula for fine bone china around 1799—creating porcelain that was both delicate and durable. Spode also pioneered underglaze blue transfer printing, allowing intricate designs like the iconic "Blue Italian" pattern to become accessible to a wider market.

By the early 19th century, Spode had become a household name, renowned for combining craftsmanship with mass appeal. Its tableware graced both aristocratic homes and emerging middle-class tables, embodying timeless British elegance.

Today, Spode remains a symbol of classic design and enduring quality, blending historic patterns with modern sensibilities.
