CHINESE ROSE PATTTERN (1913-2007):
Spode Chinese Rose is a popular 20th-century earthenware pattern featuring vibrant pink, red, and blue flowers with green and brown lace borders, inspired by 18th-century Chinese art. Officially produced from the early 1900sthough derived from an 1815 designit was heavily popular during the 1930s-1950s and was famously discontinued in 2007. 
While often associated with the early 20th century, the design is based on earlier Spode patterns from around 1815, which themselves drew inspiration from 18th-century Chinese porcelain.
It became one of Spode's most popular colourful earthenware patterns, particularly in the 1930s as young homeowners sought high-quality, durable dinner sets.
 
SPODE (1766 - present):
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.
Spode pioneered the use of steam-powered, pottery-making machinery and mastered the art of transfer printing from copper plates,. Spode opened a London shop in 1778 and sent William Copeland there in about 1784. By the early 1830s, Copeland fully acquired the Spode operations in London and took over the Stoke plant operations until his death in 1868, when he passed the business onto his heirs.
After 250 years Spode is still designed in Britain (Although in 2009 the British Portmeirion Group purchased the Spode brand.) and has now become synonymous with British ceramics.
 
MARKINGS:
Copeland Spode marks are divided into four main categories, including early Spode from 1770 to 1833, Copeland & Garrett from 1833 to 1847, WT Copeland from 1847 to 1970 and reverting back to just Spode from 1970 to 2022.
THE SEALMARK SEEN WAS FIRST INTRODUCED IN 1833.
The inclusion of an "s" after Copeland (e.g., "Copeland's China" or "Spode Copelands") frequently appears on products from the late 1890s through the early 20th century. During this time, the company was known as W.T. Copeland & Sons.
IN 1891 THE WORD ENGLAND WAS FIRST ADDED TO THE SEAL MARK.
UNTIL 1903 IT HAS A C IN THE CENTER OF IT FOR COPELAND.
IN 1904 TO 1954 THE WORD SPODE WAS ADDED TO THE COPELAND MARK AFTER AN ABSENCE OF 66 YEARS SINCE 1833.
IN 1956 THE WORD BONE CHINA REPLACED COPELAND IN THE MARK.
In 1970, to celebrate the supposed bicentenary of the founding of the company, the name reverted to Spode with a new logo designed by John Sutherland Hawes. Taking inspiration from the early 19th century red painted Spode marks plus later (from 1976) printed adaptations he produced the 'Gothic' style logo in red which became world famous. This is the name used until the closure of the factory in 2009. 
FROM 1976 THE SPODE LOGO CHANGED TO RED AND THE WORD FINE WAS ADDED TO BONE CHINA IN BLACK.
