Spode is reviving a stunning classic décor in the shape of Heritage Green Italian. The colourway was first displayed in 1833, with this launch reviving a treasured archive colour with striking contemporary relevance for modern living. Proudly made in Spode’s Stoke-on-Trent factory, the collection is made using only the finest quality clay, passing through 22 pairs of hands during production.
Drawing on nearly two centuries of design history, Heritage Green Italian tells a story of timeless beauty and bold reinvention. A shade once associated with grandeur and admired for its depth and intensity, returns to the forefront of interiors in 2025, symbolic of nature and renewal. A tone that has the power to soothe, restore and inspire, this deep green remains one of the most versatile colours for the home. Calming yet bold, it can be paired with warm neutrals, layered with strong accents or styled on its own, Heritage Green Italian makes a statement that is both classic and contemporary.
The intricate scenes of Spode’s beloved Italian pattern remain as captivating as ever, depicting rural countryside living with its ionic Imarni border. Evoking a sense of romantic nostalgia, the design brings warmth and charm onto any table.
“Green has a unique resonance in the world of design, evoking both a sense of renewal and a deep connection to nature. At Spode, we’re thrilled to reintroduce our iconic Italian collection in this sumptuous Heritage Green hue. Just as blue and white has a timeless versatility, this rich green offers a fresh perspective on a classic pattern, inviting new stories and styles into the home.
There’s something profoundly grounding about the chemistry of this lush green with the crispness of white, it brings a sense of calm, vitality, and sophistication to any setting. Whether layered into a contemporary space or adding a touch of heritage charm, the new green Italian collection honours our legacy while embracing the evolving language of design. We’re inspired by how this historic colourway can be both nostalgic and forward-looking, making it as relevant now as it was nearly two centuries ago,” says Lisa Archambault, global design director at Spode.
