0.04 sec. |
Spode, Josiah (1754-1827)English potter. Around 1800, he developed bone porcelain (made from bone ash, china stone, and china clay), which was produced at all English factories in the 19th century. He became potter to King George III in 1806. His father, Josiah Spode the elder (1733-1797), founded the Spode factory at Stoke-on-Trent in 1770. He succeeded to the firm in 1797, and added porcelain and, in 1805, stone-china to its production. The Spode works were taken over by W T Copeland in 1833. How to thank TFD for its existence?
