JOSIAH SPODE
;Josiah Spode, one of the foun'ders,
of the potters' trade. was born at
WWabstantoat in 11717, he was apprenti-
cedat the rage of thirteen, along with
7osiall Wedgwood, at the Wheldon
factory, established b ' the famous
ThomasWhetcbou at IStrolce-on-Trernt.
'511 17168 he 'became 'manager of a
factory in the saline town which was
making salt -glazed ware and stone
jugs. Five years later 'he bou'gh't the
entire concern. There -alter Spade be-

!Staffordshire love! its clay tae well
to take kindly to p'tr'eslaitt, and it was
never a porcelain country until the
frau of Spode converted it. It is this
wltiett makes tete birth of Josoah
Spode the Pirst a matter- of cant
metnnration.
The :potteries, continues this Ob-
server writer, are now emerging from
the delay of a hundred years, and
they have a splendid opportunity to
treat bone china as a new thing, as a
of a Staffordshire body. Most of all
one would like to see bone china IA -
'filled by the firm which invented it.
Josiah Spode was one of the pio-
neers of mechanical methods of de-
coration, of which blue -printing is the
best known. In this he and his con-
temporaries did an excellent .service
to the L'0 century. Not all pottery can
now he thrown and painted—the out-
put is far too great—but it can all be
designed. The development of print-
ed decoration has the same impotance
for this industrial art that the print -
1 ing press had far the art of the 'book.
The firm of Spode stands lastly for
the influence of retail on the. manat-
1 facturer's clesign. 4\rilliam Copeland,

The voice of the 'retailer which drew
this virtue front the potter has grown
in volume since Copeland's 'day. 1In a
few instances retail has been of great
advantage, and it Bras contributed
largely to the awakening of Stafford,
shire during the last 'fe'w years.
