Spring is on the horizon, and there’s no better time to refresh your home with a touch of timeless style. Spode’s new Morris & Co. pieces bring the magic of William Morris’ iconic design into the present day, combining heritage craftsmanship with contemporary colourways in soft greens, warming yellows and blush pinks. Read on to discover what’s new for spring/summer 2026...
Celebrating craftsmanship and heritage
William Morris, a pioneer of the Arts and Crafts movement, believed that beauty should be part of everyday life. His intricate patterns, filled with swirling leaves, blooms, and fruit, were first created in the 19th century but continue to captivate today. This collection is proudly made in Stoke-on-Trent, maintaining the Great British craftsmanship both Spode and Morris & Co. are known for.
From mugs and jugs to platters and textiles, these pieces are designed not only to be admired but to be used. Dishwasher and microwave safe, they bring practicality to the elegance of heritage design, making every meal or coffee moment feel special.
Patterns that come to life
The new additions to Spode’s Morris & Co. collection feature four standout heritage patters:
Fruit: First designed in 1864, this lush motif features pomegranates, peaches, and trailing leaves. It’s perfectly at home on mugs, cups and jugs.
Strawberry Thief: One of Morris’s most beloved patterns, its charming birds and trailing foliage appear on mugs and low bowls in fresh, spring-appropriate shades.
Marigold: Introduced in 1875, this intricate floral design is celebrated in a sunny yellow shade across mugs, platters, table runners and co-ordinating napkins.
Standen: Known for its delicate leaves and detailing, Standen pairs beautifully with other archive patterns, offering subtle contract and versatility.
Each pattern is reimagined in vibrant, contemporary tones while staying true to the original designs, creating a mix-and-match aesthetic that allows you to layer colours and textures for a playful yet elegant setting.
Bringing spring to your table
With longer days and warmer evenings approaching, this collection is ideal for seasonal dining. Picture a sunny Marigold platter laden with fresh fruit, a Fruit jug filled with blooming branches, or a Strawberry Thief & Standen low bowl brimming with salad for a spring lunch. Pair these statement pieces with the existing tableware in the collection, and the new coordinating table runner and napkins for a cohesive, styled tablescape that’s as inviting as it is beautiful.
Whether you’re hosting an intimate brunch or enjoying a quiet coffee moment, these new Morris & Co. pieces bring a beautifully bold touch to your day. They’re also perfect as gifts - timeless, thoughtful, and unmistakably British.
The ultimate mix-and-match collection
Part of the existing Spode X Morris & Co. collection, these new pieces are designed to complement existing tableware, linens, and afternoon tea pieces you may already have. The collection’s versatile, mix-and-match nature means you can embrace your personal style, layering patterns and colours exactly as you like.
