This pattern is actually a newer version of a similar pattern produced in the 70’s. Whereas the previous pattern was cast in fine stone, this newer version made use of porcelain

This pattern was made by Spode of England.  Spode was founded in 1776 and is known for its wide range of tableware and cook ware. It has a product portfolio that appeals across generations. The brand was bought by the Portmeirion Group in April 2009.  The Portmeirion Group is a significant force in the homewares industry with its 4 strong brands:  Portmeirion, Pimpernel, Royal Worcester, and Spode.  It is a market leader in high quality and innovatively designed tableware, cookware, giftware, and tabletop accessories.

In production for exactly one decade, this colorful collection is best used during spring or summer where nature is at its best and finest bloom.

Our favorite is the oval baker which comes in two sizes – a fancy way to bake!
