The Heritage Centre has an ongoing programme of exhibitions and
events during 2019
Spode's Botanical Patterns:
If you love your garden or just love flowers generally then the Spode Museum Trust’s exhibition, ‘Spode’s Botanical Patterns’, is a feast for the eyes. The enthusiasm for gardens increased in Georgian times, with the demand for landscaped grounds at large country estates and cottage gardens where flowers could be grown to decorate the home and perhaps provide a pleasant room scent as well! Josiah Spode undoubtedly saw the potential of developing botanical patterns for his tea, dinner and ornamental wares. The lady of the house would be an eager customer, ownership allowing her to not only indulge her passion for flowers but mainly, to impress her guests! |  |
 | The exhibition is appropriately held in the Daniel Room, named after Henry Daniel, an enameller, colourist and manager, who, from c.1805, ran the factory decorating shop, having at his call, some of the finest flower painters of the day.
Marvel at the extraordinary beauty of floral subjects created in the heart of the smoke-filled atmosphere of 19th century Stoke-upon- Trent. |
