Behind the Designs

This range was designed to mix and match, allowing the consumer to express their unique sense of style or gift statement pieces. I was inspired by current trends of ‘curiosities’ and Victoriana but was always informed by Spode’s rich archive.”

Penny Swancott, Spode Designer

Packaging & POS

The Future

This Creatures of Curiosity collection marks an exciting new era for Spode.

In 1770, when Spode was founded, Josiah Spode was designing and manufacturing some of the world’s most exciting tableware and homeware ranges. Customers across the world were enamoured with Spode’s approach to design, giving them something that felt fresh and unique. By doing things differently, Spode became one of the most enduring brands of all time.

Today, Spode is following in its forebears’ footsteps with the launch of the Creatures of Curiosity collection – a distinct and timeless design that impresses both in store and online.
