This year Spode celebrates the 200th anniversary of Josiah Spode's creation of fine bone china.  Josiah Spode was born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1733.  As well as perfecting blue underglaze printing in 1784, he is credited with the most significant development in the history of his industry: the formula for fine bone china.

The crowning accolade was gaining the first of the company's six Royal Warrants following a factory visit by the Prince of Wales in 1806.

Now 200 years later, fine bone china is still being produced from that same site in Stoke-on-Trent.

SPODE - THE ORIGINAL BLUE
For nearly 200 years, Spode's famous blue  and white designs have been loved and admired by collectors throughout the world.  Knowledgeable connoisseurs and the most renowned museums treasure their possessions of antique wares which are amongst the most collectable in the history of ceramics. 

Using traditional techniques and designs from a wealth of authentic engravings and moulds carefully preserved in the Spode archives, the same original designs produced in the early 1800's are still available today in a comprehensive selection of the most desirable items. Absolutely faithful to the Spode blue tradition, they are set to become treasured heirlooms for future generations.

At Presentdays we have a good selection BLUE ITALIAN  giftware. The superb virtuosity of this unique pattern lends itself magnificently to all shapes and sizes of Imperialware.  Whilst each piece is designed to complement the tableware range, it is eminently collectable in it's own right.  We also have available an equally attractive range of matching table textiles. Tableware can be ordered  on request.

The Blue Room Collection at Presentdays also has various designs in blue and white of dresser plates and cake plates and of course, the Georgian collection of miniature plates.

Of course our range of stock is too voluminous to be comprehensively covered on this web site.
