The Spode Company is renowned for its china and ceramics. The company was founded by Josiah Spode who co-invented the formula for fine bone china in the 1700s. But his real claim to fame came from perfecting the blue under-glaze printing process used in manufacturing china, and making creamware and pearlware.
His Blue Room Collection is inspired by a wealth of authentic copper engravings. It is a comprehensive selection of home accessories which includes an eclectic range of wall plates and mugs. These items perfectly showcase an array of both traditional and contemporary Spode Patterns. This teacup and saucer is Blue Girl at Well
