COPELAND AND GARRETT 1833-1847
William Copeland died in 1826 and Josiah Spode the Second in 1828. Until 1833, the company was managed by one of Spode’s sons and other managers. On 1st March 1833 William Taylor Copeland, William Copeland’s son, acquired the business in partnership with a Thomas Garrett until 1847. During this period the factory was the largest in land area and ovens rivalled only by Davenport.
During this partnership the factory’s productions were marked ‘Copeland and Garrett’ Typical wares produced during the Copeland and Garrett period were in the Rococo style, fashionable at the time. New shapes and at least six earthenware bodies were produced in this period. Statuary porcelain (also known as Parian) was developed in 1842, its fine white dense material with a marble-like finish was suitable for the reproduction of large marble models and classical figures became affordable to adorn a Gentleman’s study.
