Alenite was a short-lived pottery body which was flameproof. Derived from one of Spode's famous pottery bodies, Fine Stone, it was developed as suitable for ovenproof ware with experiments starting in about 1957. The name was created to recognise the Alumina base of the formula and to honour the Chief Chemist Cyril Allen who developed it. Initially produced in the grey of Fine Stone a white version was produced in about 1962.

Little information is recorded of what was made in the early years of its production but a 1964 catalogue lists an embossed shape called Henri VI being produced in a range of dinnerware. Some other patterns were produced on a plain shape on white Alenite. These were Blue Italian, Blue Bird, Luneville, Apples, Dauphine, Pacifico.

By 1966 only the Henri IV shape was listed in the catalogue.
