History of Copeland Spode China Josiah Spode apprenticed as a potter in the mid-1700s. By 1754, he went to work for William Banks in Stoke-on-Trent, in Staffordshire, England. Later, he started his own pottery business, making cream-colored earthenware and whiteware with blueprints. In 1770, Spode became the master of Banks’ factory and purchased the business in 1776 (according to Warman’s Antiques & Collectibles by Noah Fleisher). “Spode pioneered the use of steam-powered, pottery-making machinery and mastered the art of transfer printing from copper plates,” says Fleisher....

The pottery piece is formed, then burnished. Burnished pottery works best, as the smooth unglazed surface accepts the carbon marking with the strongest effect. The piece is fired to between 1300 F and 1800 F in a raku kiln. Using the raku kiln allows much easier access to the ware. Once the correct temperature is reached, the incandescent pottery is taken from the kiln using long raku tongs and proper gauntlets and other protective gear....
