Fine Bone China Still Made The Same Way It Always Has Been
Made.
If Josiah Spode I, were to return to his factory today, he would find many
of the processes & techniques perfectly familiar. Because, in essence,
Spode products are still made the way they always have been made.
Manufacture begins with the raw ingredients - calcined bone, china clay & (china or Cornish) stone - being mixed with water in a 'blunger', before being purified & having a large proportion of the water removed in a filter press. After maturing for a few days, the clay passes through a pug mill to extract every bubble of air. 'Making' is divided into four main processes: flat making of plates, saucers etc; cup making; pressing by hand of casting, again by hand, of hollowware such as soup tureens, tea & coffee pots. At Spode, scallops on cup rims are cut by hand & handles are cut to shape & attached by hand. After the initial biscuit firing, all tableware is glazed by hand, before the glost firing. Then the various types of decoration are applied before the final firing, with special patterns & gilding applied by skilled artists. There are step by step pictures of the process on the website below. Banana Republic Coupon Code Dell Coupon Lands End Coupon
