For more than two centuries, Spode has created tableware that becomes part of everyday rituals and family traditions. From leisurely Sunday breakfasts to celebratory dinners, its iconic designs have graced tables around the world, becoming treasured heirlooms passed from one generation to the next.
Now, a beautiful new chapter has arrived.
Introducing Spode Heritage Green Italian ~ a timeless reinterpretation of one of Britain's most celebrated tableware patterns. Inspired by the original Italian pattern first introduced in 1816 and a rich green archive colour first seen in 1833, Heritage Green Italian blends centuries of craftsmanship with a fresh, contemporary palette that feels perfectly at home in today's interiors.Â
Whether you're already a collector of Spode or discovering the brand for the first time, this collection offers an elegant alternative to the much-loved Blue Italian while honouring the same remarkable heritage.
A Heritage That Spans More Than 250 Years
Founded in England in the 18th century, Spode has become one of the world's most respected names in fine ceramics.
The brand revolutionised British pottery through innovations in transfer printing and bone china, creating designs that continue to define classic English tableware today. Blue Italian, first introduced in 1816, remains one of the most recognisable dinnerware patterns ever produced.
Heritage Green Italian builds upon that legacy.
Rather than creating an entirely new pattern, Spode has revisited its own archives, reviving a sophisticated green colourway first introduced in 1833. The result feels both deeply historic and remarkably current.
A Softer Take on an Icon
While Blue Italian has long been loved for its classic blue and white palette, Heritage Green Italian offers something subtly different.
Its rich botanical green brings warmth and softness to the intricate countryside scenes and detailed Imari-inspired border that collectors know so well.
The effect is calming, organic and effortlessly elegant.
Green has become one of the defining colours in contemporary interiors, pairing beautifully with:
Natural timber
Linen tablecloths
Rattan placemats
Woven baskets
Fresh greenery
Brass accents
White ceramics
It feels equally suited to everyday family meals and beautifully styled entertaining.
If you've long admired the iconic Blue Italian pattern, you'll immediately recognise the beautiful countryside scene and intricate Imari-inspired border that Heritage Green shares. While Blue Italian remains a timeless favourite, Heritage Green offers a softer, nature-inspired interpretation that feels equally at home in classic and coastal interiors.

Proudly Made in Stoke-on-Trent
Like the original collections before it, Heritage Green Italian is proudly crafted in Stoke-on-Trent, England ~ the historic heart of British pottery.

These aren't simply beautiful plates.
They're pieces designed to become part of your family's story.
Why We Love Heritage Green

Hamptons interiors
English Country homes
Coastal Cottage styling
Traditional kitchens
Modern farmhouse interiors
Classic Australian homes
It also pairs effortlessly with natural fibres like jute and seagrass, creating table settings that feel relaxed, welcoming and timeless.

Build Your Collection Over Time
One of the joys of investing in Spode is that it never feels like something you need to purchase all at once.
Many collectors begin with:
Dinner plates
Side plates
Cereal bowls
Mugs
Before gradually adding:
Serving platters
Cake stands
Teapots
Cream jugs
Sugar bowls
Statement serving pieces
Over time, the collection becomes something that grows alongside family celebrations and everyday moments.
Many Spode collectors enjoy building more than one collection over time. Heritage Green is perfect for everyday dining and elegant entertaining, while Blue Italian brings classic blue and white styling to the table year-round. When the festive season arrives, Spode Christmas Tree continues the tradition with one of the world's most beloved Christmas dinnerware collections, making every celebration feel even more special.
Designed to Be Used Every Day
The beauty of Heritage Green Italian lies in its balance.
It feels special enough for Christmas lunch, birthdays and celebrations.
Yet it's equally beautiful for a quiet breakfast, afternoon tea or relaxed weekend brunch.
Rather than saving it for "good occasions", it's the kind of collection that encourages you to elevate the everyday.
After all, some of life's most meaningful moments happen around an ordinary table.
