About 1767-1833 Josiah Spode
Josiah Spode I worked with Thomas Whieldon and later managed the Stoke works before establishing his own businesses. He purchased the continuing Spode factory in 1776; the company also used 1770 as its traditional founding date. His son Josiah Spode II continued the pottery after 1797, and William Taylor Copeland acquired it from the trustees in 1833, forming Copeland and Garrett.
