This Trade Winds - Blue pattern was manufactured for 31 years by the Spode China company, based in the UK. Spode has got a bunch of ship-themed patterns such as Spode Trade Winds - Red and Spode Blue Clipper. Many other manufacturers use ships as motifs as well. Spode Trade Winds Blue features a sail boat on the water in stark blue designed to excite the maritime enthusiast. Sailboats were once a prominent part of the nautical landscape and tend to be the most common feature of sea based designs in china patterns.

Our favorite Spode Trade Winds Blue pieces are the covered sugar bowl as well as the oval serving platter.
