Beyond Beautiful & Beautifully British
Our extensive, eclectic and imaginative tableware, cookware, textile and gifting collections ensures you are absolutely brimming with ideas and inspiration.
Manufacturing Process
Handles
An integral part of a cup or mug, we produce thousands of handles each day. Paying attention to the little details, each handle is cast, trimmed and cut with exact precision so that it fits onto the curve of the cup or mug perfectly. It is attached with great care using liquid clay to ensure its longevity.
Glazing
We use a rock hard, clear glaze to showcase the beauty of the ware. The glass is applied either by machine spraying or by hand, a highly skilled technique that involves dipping the ware into a vat of glaze and shaking the right amount of excess glaze from the piece.
Lithographing
For shapely pieces, the decoration is applied by hand by our experienced and talented lithographers. The transfer is moistened and applied to a piece with exacting precision. It is then stretched and massaged onto the ware to ensure it sits beautifully against the piece.
Selection
At every stage and by every person, our products are checked for quality. The final quality check is undertaken by our Selectors. With a keen attention to detail, they study the piece to ensure it meets our leading quality standards. Not only do the look and feel the product, they use a specially crafted tool to listen to the product to ensure it makes the right ‘ting’ sound.
Blue Italian
Blue Italian, the beautiful blue and white collection for which Spode is famous for, was launched in 1816 and has been in production ever since. The stunning Blue Italian collection features a finely detailed 18th century Imari Oriental border encompassing a scene inspired by the Italian countryside.
Focused on Design
Our talented crafts men and women have a real passion for creating unique and quality products and it’s with a focus on design that we create high quality tableware, cookware, giftware, and tabletop accessories from our studio and factory in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Focused on Style
We have moved with fashion and various trends through the years but always with the same philosophy: to make quality products with timeless style.
Other Collections
Sophie Conran
Designed by Sophie Conran, each piece is beautifully tactile, having the look of being hand-thrown. With Sophie’s philosophy that every day should be a beautiful day, the collection is both versatile and practical – the jugs morph into vases and roasting dishes take center stage on the table. As well as creating elegant dinner parties and relaxed breakfasts, the Sophie Conran for Portmeirion collection moves with ease from the dishwasher to the microwave, the freezer to the oven.
Botanic Garden
A true British classic, Botanic Garden was designed by the celebrated designer Susan Williams-Ellis using early 19th century illustrations as her inspiration. Botanic Garden’s delightful mixture of floral motifs and signature leaf border set a new trend for casual dining when introduced in 1972 and is just as stylish today.
Woodland
Introduced in the US in the 1990’s, Woodland’s designs are rooted in the traditions of hunting for game and its elaborate presentation on the table. Central to the charm of the pattern are the striking studies of different animals framed by the British Flowers border which dates back to 1831.
Christmas Tree
Loved for its nostalgia and warm recollections of Christmases past, Christmas Tree is one of the world’s best known holiday designs since its introduction in 1938. Each season sees wonderful new introductions for collectors both old and new. Christmas Tree adds a distinctive charm to every table – celebrating traditions and creating memories.
