SPODE POTTERY
Josiah Spode established his pottery business in 1767 in Stoke On Trent, England. In the late 18th century Josiah produced what has been described as the single most significant development in the history of his industry – the perfection of the formula for fine bone china. At the time European potters were trying to formulate the equivalent of porcelain which had started to be imported from China. Bone china had similar properties to porcelain and it was based on the Kaolin clay that was discovered in Cornwall.
The Prince of Wales visited the factory in 1806 and, impressed by what he saw, asked Spode to produce the banqueting service for his coronation as George IV. The company has held Royal Warrants ever since.
CELTIC PLATES BY SPODE
A series of seven plates designed by David Jackson. M.Ed., Des.R.C.A., who was inspired by the illuminated Gospel manuscripts and ancient documents from the Celtic/Christian era of the 6th to the 9th Centuries. Each plate is made of fine bone china and is highly decorated with rich enamels and 22ct gold. The plates were produced in the 1970s only.
