Begun by Josiah Spode I continued by his son Josiah II, the business and works then passed to the Copeland family who for five generations continued the traditions of quality and fine potting started by the Spodes until 1970 when the business was sold and the products reverted to their original name Spode. The book contains illustrations showing the range of products, including commissions for Royalty nobility not forgetting examples of the everyday wares of two centuries. There is new unpublished information, drawings and plans showing the many changes which have taken place at the Spode works. This is the story of a Pottery that has survived over two centuries and still produces fine innovative wares.

About the Author
Vega Wilkinson is married with two children. She was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire but has lived in the Potteries for the last twenty eight years - the ideal place as a collector to further her love of fine china and especially landscape decoration which led to research in the archives of Spode and the Copeland family at Trelissick Cornwall. She has published articles on Copeland and Minton, Copeland A Shire book; written the guide book to the Copeland China collection at Trelissick Cornwall, and is now preparing a book A Century of Ceramic Artist 1800-1900.
