In partnership with William Copeland, Josiah II continued the business for the next thirty years Under their management in the early 19th century, considered by many to be the “Golden Age” of English ceramics, the company grew to be the largest pottery in Stoke and a pre-eminent manufacturer of Fine ceramics of every kind. Spode II was appointed “Potter to the Prince of Wales” when the Prince Regent visited the factory in 1806. Josiah II’s china bodies, first Bone China and, from 1822, its derivative, Felspar Porcelain, outclassed all other contemporary English porcelains not just in terms of beauty but also of reliability of manufacture. Spode’s Felspar Porcelain is recognised as the forerunner of all modern English Bone China. As the technique for transfer printing on earthenwares was perfected, Spode’s blue and white transfer printed wares were generally considered to be among the finest ever made. The most famous pattern of which, “Italian”, introduced in 1816, continues to be made in quantity to this day. The portrait of Josiah Spode II shown on the right is hand-painted on a Spode’s Felspar porcelain plaque, c.1820. It is copied from an earlier painting by Keeling in 1806 and engraved by William Greatbach, chief engraver for Spode. Also shown on this page are a small selection of typical Spode wares made during this period, demonstrating how designs and shapes evolved from the highly restrained Georgian styles through the more ebullient decorative forms of the Regency period. The pattern books show 5,000 different “standard” patterns were produced during this period, but many more special order patterns were also made.
