Spode is a Stoke-on-Trent based pottery company that was founded by Josiah Spode (1733-1797) in 1770. Josiah Spode earned renown for perfecting under-glaze blue transfer printing in 1783-1784, a development that led to the launch in 1816 of Spode’s Blue Italian range which has remained in production ever since. Josiah Spode is also often credited with developing a successful formula for fine bone china. Today Spode is owned by Portmeirion Group – a pottery and homewares company based in Stoke-on-Trent. Many items in Spode’s Blue Italian and Woodland ranges are made at Portmeirion Group’s factory in Stoke-on-Trent and all products are made to the highest quality.
