About Spode Felspar Porcelain

After some early trials Spode perfected a stoneware that came closer to porcelain than any previously, and released his “Stone-China” in 1813. It absolutely was light in entire body, grayish-white and gritty exactly where it was not glazed and approached translucence within the early wares; later Stone-Ware became opaque. Spode pattern books, which record about 75000 Spode survive from about 1800.

In Spode’s similar “Felspar porcelain”, introduced for the market in 1821, felspar was an ingredient, substituted for the Cornish stone in his regular bone china entire body, giving rise to his slightly misleading name “Felspar porcelain,” to what is the truth is an extremely refined stoneware comparable towards the rival “Mason’s ironstone”, produced by Josiah II’s nephew, Charles James Mason, and patented in 1813 Spode’s “Felspar porcelain” continued into the Copeland & Garrett phase of the company (1833-1847).

Armorial services have been provided for the Honourable East India Company, 1823, and the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, c1824. Some of the ware employed underglaze blue and iron red with touches of gilding in imitation of “Imari porcelain” that had been introduced on Spode’s bone china inside first decade of the century: the most familiar “Tobacco-leaf pattern” (2061) continued to be made by Spode’s successors, William Taylor Copeland, and then “W.T. Copeland & Sons, late Spode”
