Spode Pink Tower Plate

The Pink Tower pattern is a quintessential design from the historic British pottery brand Spode. Originally launched in 1814, the 'Tower' design was adapted from a printed illustration and remains one of the most recognizable examples of transferware in the world. The pink (or red) variant offers a softer, vintage aesthetic compared to the classic blue version.

Historically, all Spode products were manufactured at the legendary Stoke-on-Trent factory in England. Following the acquisition of the brand by Portmeirion Group in 2009, most high-end and heritage pieces continue to be produced in the United Kingdom to maintain authenticity and quality. However, some complementary ranges or high-volume items are occasionally produced in international facilities.

Today, Spode exists as a prestigious brand under the Portmeirion Group, a company renowned for preserving traditional British ceramic arts while modernizing production for a global market. The brand continues to focus on historical patterns that evoke a sense of English heritage and timeless dining elegance.
