Spode, Josiah (1754-1827), was one of the United Kingdom's greatest potters and the inventor of bone china. He created bone china by adding bone ash to the paste used for making porcelain. The result was china of particular beauty, delicacy, and transparency. Spode helped to make the familiar Willow Pattern popular.
