The Spode Museum contains a unique and unrivalled collection of Spode's exquisite ceramic masterpieces from the very beginnings of production in 1770, through the creative hey-days of the 1800's, to the patronage of the World's Royal Households, and the indulgences of the British Empire, to the post war era.

Here, you will be able to see first-hand some of the most supreme examples of the potters art that have ever been created. The Spode Museum is a must-visit for any true connoisseur of Fine Bone China, because Spode is the original.
