	Spode
		Josiah Spode I, a former apprentice of Josiah Wedgwood, founded his pottery works in 1770; ten years later, he perfected the non-fading, blue transfer printed underglazed china that became the hallmark of the Staffordshire potters in the 1780s.
		The next breakthrough at the Spode works came in 1794, when Josiah Spode II mixed calcified ox bone with ordinary china clay and stone, creating a bone china which approached porcelain in quality yet could be produced inexpensively on a large scale.
		Spode designs were greatly influenced by the family's association with William Copeland, a London broker and tea merchant; in many cases, Spode lifted design concepts directly from the elaborately decorated papers used to wrap the tea leaves Copeland imported from China.
