Spode history: Spode has a rich history, being the china of royalty in the U.K. and other countries. (Pay attention when watching "The Crown!") In the village of Stokes-on-Trent, a well-known pottery hub, Josiah Spode I would hone his skills during his teenage years and open his own pottery business in 1767. His son, Josiah Spode II, was born in 1755 and would enter the family business, helping to run the Spode warehouse in London, when he became of age. In 1797, he took the reins from his father and led the company into the production of bone china. Fine bone china would become the Spode hallmark, as they worked to perfect the recipe. William Copeland also partnered with Spode II in 1797. When Spode II died in 1827, Copeland's son bought the entire business from the Trustees of Josiah Spode III. The company would then operate as Copeland and Garratt (a partner that came on) until 1847 when William Copeland decided to continue solo. In 1970, the company was again renamed back to Spode, and lives to tell its story. Please contact seller for more photos if you are interested in particular pattern(s) or piece(s). We have a lot of china - takes time to take pictures of it all!
