A legacy reimagined
In 1816, we introduced the world to Blue Italian, a pattern inspired by the romance of classical landscapes, the wonder of faraway places, and the desire to bring artistry to everyday life. Its pastoral scene and intricate Imari border became a symbol of British creativity and craftsmanship.
Over two centuries later, this beloved pattern is reimagined in a deep, heritage green. A colour first introduced by Spode in 1833. Once associated with refinement and luxury, this bold green hue now feels distinctly modern, bringing a sense of calm, richness, and natural tranquillity to the table.
