Spode makes beautiful, eye-catching (and collectable) ceramics for your table, and it’s all 20% off right now
Level up your Christmas dining table this year
Tablescaping is one thing we’re getting really excited about for the coming festive season. If you haven’t yet found that crockery set that you’re really, really proud to lay the Christmas table with, here’s one GH Good Buys Weekend offer for you that we’re particularly chuffed to share.
Heritage crockery brand Spode has been making beautiful ceramics in Stoke-on-Trent since 1770. That 250-year history alone is enough to make us a little misty-eyed about British manufacturing, but when you see Spode’s designs, you’ll know why they have such staying power. We've rounded up our favourites below.
From 00:01 on Friday 2 October to midnight on Sunday 4 October 2026, you can get 20% off everything (yes, even discounted items) on the Spode website – just use the code GOODBUYS20 at checkout. Time to make that dining table look extra special.
Spode crockery may be famous for its classic blue-and-white colourways, but we love the deep green version of the brand’s best-known ‘Italian’ design. Green crockery is so chic and on-trend right now, and this timeless British-made set is sure to last – and look gorgeous – for years to come.
If you don’t need the full 12-piece set or want extra items, you can browse the full Heritage Green collection.
Spode Morris & Co Set of 4 Dessert Plates
We absolutely love these mismatched porcelain dessert plates, each decorated with an iconic Morris & Co pattern: Strawberry Thief, Honeysuckle, Golden Lily and Blackthorn. The pastel shades and nature-inspired motifs would make such a lovely backdrop to a pretty dessert – and they’re also great for gifting.

Spode Christmas Tree Set of 2 Candy Cane Mugs
There’s something very nostalgic about these Christmas mugs – the design was first made in 1938, and they have such a fun, vintage feel. Those striped candy cane handles are begging for hot chocolate topped with squirty cream...
Launched in 1816, Spode has been creating this classic Blue Italian crockery in England for more than 200 years. This utterly timeless design, which features an Italian countryside scene and floral border, will look just as good in another 200 years.
For smaller sets or extra items, you can browse the Blue Italian collection.
Spode Steccato Set of 4 Cereal Bowls
For something a little more modern, we love these striking striped cereal bowls in the cobalt blue and white Steccato design. They look fantastic on their own or in combination with the Steccato dinner plates and mugs for an effortlessly attention-grabbing table setting.
If you love the idea of playful stripey tableware, browse the full Steccato collection.
Tablescaping isn’t just about the crockery. This elegant runner in a rich red Morris & Co Bluebell design with a deep green border will bring your Christmas table together. It’s festive yet so classic and elegant.
Spode Blue Italian Set of 4 Cottage Mugs
The perfect mugs, made in England. Featuring Spode’s iconic Blue Italian design with a fluted shape and pretty decorative handles, these cottage mugs are designed to be incredibly comfortable to hold and sip from.
This lovely jug is decorated with the Morris & Co Fruit pattern, which was first created in 1864 and features pomegranates, lemons and peaches in pastel shades. A stunning piece for displaying flowers or filling with home-made lemonade.
Spode Morris & Co Bluebell & Blackthorn Decoration
Spode Morris & Co Bluebell & Blackthorn Decoration
A little bit of heritage for your Christmas tree. This pair of Christmas decorations features the Morris & Co Bluebell and Blackthorn patterns on sturdy porcelain. The set comes ready for gifting, too, making a lovely festive present for a loved one.
Spode Blue Italian Teapot Napkin Rings, Set of 4
Who could resist buying napkin rings when they look like this? These Blue Italian teapots make an adorable final flourish to a matching table setting and would look particularly at home at an afternoon tea.
If you prefer your teapots to hold tea instead of napkins, you can also shop the full-sized Blue Italian Teapot.
This goes beyond Spode’s heritage patterns. Spode’s core collections (such as the famous Blue Italian designs) continue to be manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent, close to the original site, and the brand has a well-earned reputation for quality.
Spode’s durable, well-crafted crockery is dishwasher and microwave safe, so you don’t need to hide it away until a special occasion arises. The brand’s long-running patterns also make it easy to add to a set over time, with a wide range of plates, bowls, mugs and serving pieces available across its collections.
And who knows – maybe a Spode piece you buy today will be a future collector’s item?
