The design for Indian Tree pattern derives from a Chinese pattern of the Yung-Cheng period (1725-35). The Coalport factory reproduced it around 1801 since when it has been an extremely popular pattern produced by many manufacturers including Spode. Records in the Spode Museum Trust's archive show the pattern appears to have been known by both names Indian Tree and India Tree during its production.
Indian Tree was withdrawn in the early 1990s but reintroduced in a small range for the US market in 2004.
