Publisher's Synopsis
Spode-Copeland-Spode is the story of one manufactory, two families, and generations of artists,gilders, modelers and their products. Founded by Josiah Spode I in 1770, the business and works were taken over in 1833 by the Copeland family before being sold again in 1970, at which point the company and its products reverted to the original name. This book illustrates the factory's full range of products, from everyday wares to commissions for royalty and the nobility. With previously unpublished information, drawings and plans, this wonderful publication tells the fascinating story of a pottery that has survived for over two centuries and still produces many fine innovative wares today.
