Spode porcelain was introduced about 1800 in the factory of Josiah Spode and Josiah Spode II at Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, England. This hybrid porcelain—combining the ingredients of hard-paste porcelain (china clay and china stone) and bone ash—became the standard English bone china. Blue Italian is one of their oldest patterns and certainly iconic. In honour of King Charles III, the company has produced a stately version of the blue and white pattern with commemorative details.

This is as complete a feature as you can find on the history of Spode’s Blue Italian
