In a Staffordshire churchyard in 1739, a six-year-old boy watched his father buried in a pauper's grave. At seven he was apprenticed to a nearby pottery. It's hard to imagine a more unpromising beginning, yet his name was to become world famous, synonymous with finest in ceramic art. The boy was Josiah Spode I who would soon prove himself to be one of the technological and marketing geniuses in the history of ceramics. By 1770 he acquired his own factory in Stoke-on-Trent where Spode is still produced today. He soon began to demonstrate his technical skills and creativity as well as an unusual instinct for what his customers wanted. |
As of May 4, 2009, Spode China will no longer be produced. The intellectual rights have been aquired by Portmeirion. We have listed the inventory we still have available, but will not be receiving any more. Quantities are limited and subject to change without notice.
