Spode NewburyportNewburyport was produced in several versions. The stone china body was first produced by Josiah Spode II around 1812 and was specially developed to match Chinese porcelain used by many well to do families but difficult to obtain by this time. Chinese style designs were produced in varying recipes with the names Stone China, New Stone and Fine Stone until it was discontinued in 1995. This design is described as 'classic' and reproduces the Chinese pseudo-armorial style. The catalogue in 1962 said about Red Newburyport: "Formal in style Newburyport has found particular favor in America. Its centerpiece has been likened to a coat of arms in its heraldic effect. A notable feature is the rich depth of color of the Lacquer Red so attractive against the greyish-blue of the Lowestoft fine stone, the finely textured body which is an exclusive Spode creation. The broad gold rimmed border is echoed by a finer decorative circle. For formal entertaining Red Newburyport is a most fitting choice." You can still add to your collection of Spode Newburyport.
