About MeJohn Lewis & Partners worked collaboratively with ceramic manufacturer Spode to design the Zoological Gardens range.
The Zoological Gardens pattern is a mixture of three classic Spode designs: Zoological which was first introduced in the 19th century, Aesop’s Fable and Indian Sporting Scenes.
The shapes of the ceramics are based on Spode's traditional Camilla shape and the contemporary Artisan shape.
