In partnership with William Copeland, Josiah II continued the business for the next thirty years.
Under their management, the company grew to be the largest pottery company in Stoke and a pre-eminent manufacturer of fine ceramics.
Josiah Spode II was appointed “Potter to the Prince of Wales” when the Prince Regent visited the factory in 1806.
