Josiah Spode perfected many pioneering techniques during his lifetime, including in 1784, the process for blue underglaze printing on earthenware, from hand engraved copper plates. In the late 18th century he produced the single most significant development in the history of the ceramic industry - the perfection of the formula for Fine Bone China, also known as porcelain, leading the way for the whole industry. Spode's original blue and white designs have become some of the most collectible in the history of ceramics. This pattern has been in production since 1816, and is undoubtedly one of the all-time classic tableware patterns. The central scene is thought to be of ruins in Italy , and is framed by an Imari border inspired by Chinese porcelain. The pattern still requires the most skilled hand engraving to create. read more
