Coade stone or Lithodipyra or Lithodipra ({{Langx|grc|λίθος/δίς/πυρά|lit=stone fired twice}}) is stoneware that was often described as an artificial stone in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was used for moulding neoclassical statues, architectural decorations and garden ornaments of the highest quality that remain virtually weatherproof today.

Coade stone features were produced by appointment to George III and the Prince Regent for St George's Chapel, Windsor; The Royal Pavilion, Brighton; Carlton House, London; the Royal Naval College, Greenwich; and refurbishment of Buckingham Palace in the 1820s.{{cite ODNB|url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/37296|title=Eleanor Coade|author=Alison Kelly (art historian)|doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/37296|year=2004|author-link=Alison Kelly (art historian)}}{{cite web|title=Addidi Inspiration Award for Female Entrepreneurs - Eleanor Coade|url=http://www2.addidi.com/awards/2009/profile_ec.asp|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425124239/http://www2.addidi.com/awards/2009/profile_ec.asp|archive-date=25 April 2012|access-date=1 November 2011|work=addidi.com}}

Coade stone was prized by the most important architects such as: John Nash-Buckingham Palace; Sir John Soane-Bank of England; Robert Adam-Kenwood House; and James Wyatt-Radcliffe Observatory.

The product (originally known as Lithodipyra) was created around 1770 by Eleanor Coade, who ran Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory, Coade and Sealy, and Coade in Lambeth, London, from 1769 until her death in 1821. It continued to be manufactured by her last business partner, William Croggon, until 1833.{{cite book|last1=Roberts|first1=Howard|last2=Godfrey|first2=Walter H|author-link2=Walter Godfrey|title=Victoria County History|chapter-url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=47044#fn2|volume=23: Lambeth: South Bank and Vauxhall|chapter=Coade's Artificial Stone Works}}

History

{{main article|Eleanor Coade}}

In 1769, Mrs Coade{{efn|There is some modern confusion between Eleanor and her mother (Eleanor, Elinore), as to which one ran the factory. This is primarily because of Miss Eleanor Coade's customary use of the title Mrs because this was a commonplace 'courtesy title' for any unmarried woman in business. However, analysis of the bills shows that Eleanor Coade (daughter) was fully in charge from 1771. (Alison Kelly (art historian), Oxford National Dictionary of Biography (ONDB)).}}{{efn|Alison Kelly (art historian) states on page 23 of Mrs Coade's Stone – "Since mother and daughter had the same name, confusion has reigned over the contribution of each of them to the manufactory. The widow Coade was of course Mrs, and it has been assumed that any mention of Mrs Coade must refer to her. Rupert Gunnis, for instance, believed that the widow ran the factory until her death in her late eighties, in 1796. What is not generally realised is that women in business, in Georgian times, had the courtesy title of Mrs so in the Coade records, it normally refers to Miss Coade. Bills were usually headed Eleanor Coade, but two, as early as 1771, for Hatfield Priory, Essex, and 1773, for work at Burton upon Trent Town Hall, were made out to Miss Coade, showing that from the early days she was in charge. The only references that specifically concern the mother are the first two entries for the factory in the Lambeth poor rate books, when the rate was paid by Widow Coade."}}{{efn|It appears that the modern identity confusion dates from 1951 (or earlier) when Sir Howard Roberts and Walter H. Godfrey published the Survey of London: volume 23 – Lambeth: South Bank and Vauxhall, and their confusion about the Coade family genealogy led to both gaps and false conclusions. Typically this state of knowledge was then reiterated by Rupert Gunnis in his 1953 Dictionary of British Sculptors, 1660–1851. More recently, the 'British History Online' website has given credence to the otherwise-excellent Roberts and Godfrey Survey of London,{{Cite web|url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/vol23/pp58-61|title=Coade's Artificial Stone Works | British History Online|website=www.british-history.ac.uk}} and some other internet sites have repeated the claims.}}{{efn|Her obituary notice was published in The Gentleman's Magazine, which declared her 'the sole inventor and proprietor of an art which deserves considerable notice'.[https://books.google.com/books?id=K6TPAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA572 Obituary: Eleanor Coade], The Gentleman's Magazine, Volume 130, Por John Nichols.}} bought Daniel Pincot's struggling artificial stone business at Kings Arms Stairs, Narrow Wall, Lambeth, a site now under the Royal Festival Hall.{{Cite web|url=http://www.parksandgardens.ac.uk/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=524&pop=1&page=3&Itemid=1|title=Parks and Gardens.

Coade did not invent artificial stone. Various lesser-quality ceramic precursors to Lithodipyra had been both patented and manufactured over the forty (or sixty) years prior to the introduction of her product. She was, however, probably responsible for perfecting both the clay recipe and the firing process. It is possible that Pincot's business was a continuation of that run nearby by Richard Holt, who had taken out two patents in 1722 for a kind of liquid metal or stone and another for making china without the use of clay, but there were many start-up artificial stone businesses in the early 18th century of which only Coade's succeeded.{{cite book| first= Alison | last= Kelly | title= Mrs. Coade's stone |date= 1990 | publisher = Self Publishing Association |isbn=1854210556}}{{page needed|date=October 2017}}

The company did well and boasted an illustrious list of customers such as George III and members of the English nobility.{{efn|Mrs. Coade sold to "a Debrett's full of English lords and Dukes."[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/28/arts/design/28anti.html "A Couple of Dogs that Never Need Feeding, And Other Garden Gems"], by Wendy Moonan; pg.

{{anchor|Anchor Coade and Sealy gallery 2}}

In 1799, she opened a showroom, Coade and Sealy's Gallery of Sculpture, on Pedlar's Acre at the Surrey end of Westminster Bridge Road, to display her products.{{cite journal|title=Coade Stone in Georgian Architecture by Alison Kelly (art historian)|journal= Architectural History|volume=28|pages=71–101|jstor = 1568527|last1 = Kelly|first1 = Alison|year=1985|doi= 10.2307/1568527|s2cid= 195054893}}{{cite book|last=van Lemmen|first=Hans|title=Coade Stone|year=2006|publisher=Shire|location=Princes Risborough, England|isbn=978-0-7478-0644-8|page=6}}(See adjacent "Coade and Sealy gallery" image)

In 1813, Coade took on William Croggan from Grampound in Cornwall, a sculptor and distant relative by marriage (second cousin once removed). He managed the factory until her death eight years later in 1821 whereupon he bought the factory from the executors for c. £4000. Croggan supplied a lot of Coade stone for Buckingham Palace; however, he went bankrupt in 1833 and died two years later. Trade declined, and production came to an end in the early 1840s.

=Description=

Coade stone is a type of stoneware. Mrs Coade's own name for her products was Lithodipyra, a name constructed from ancient Greek words meaning 'stone-twice-fire' ({{Lang|grc|λίθος/δίς/πυρά}}), or 'twice-fired stone'. Its colours varied from light grey to light yellow (or even beige) and its surface is best described as having a matte finish.

The ease with which the product could be moulded into complex shapes made it ideal for large statues, sculptures and sculptural façades. One-off commissions were expensive to produce, as they had to carry the entire cost of creating a mould. Whenever possible moulds were kept for many years of repeated use.

=Formula=

The recipe for Coade stone is claimed to be used today by Coade Ltd.

Its manufacture required extremely careful control and skill in kiln firing over a period of days, difficult to achieve with its era's fuels and technology. Coade's factory was the only really successful manufacturer.

The formula used was:

This mixture was also referred to as "fortified clay", which was kneaded before insertion into a {{convert|1,100|C|-2}} kiln for firing over four days – a production technique very similar to brick manufacture.

Depending on the size and fineness of detail in the work, a different size and proportion of Coade grog was used. In many pieces a combination of grogs was used, with fine grogged clay applied to the surface for detail, backed up by a more heavily grogged mixture for strength.

=Durability=

One of the more striking features of Coade stone is its high resistance to weathering, with the material often faring better than most types of natural stone in London's harsh environment.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}} Prominent examples listed below have survived without apparent wear and tear for 150 years. There were, however, notable exceptions.{{efn|Three sources describe Rossi's statue of George IV erected in the Royal Crescent, Brighton as "unable to withstand the weathering effects of sea-spray and strong wind: such that, by 1807 the fingers on the sculpture's left hand had been destroyed, and soon afterwards the whole right arm dropped off."{{cite book|last=Musgrave|first=Clifford|title=Life in Brighton|year=1981|publisher=Rochester Press|location=Rochester|isbn=978-0-571-09285-7|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/lifeinbrightonfr0000musg}}{{cite book|last=Carder|first=Timothy|title=The Encyclopaedia of Brighton|year=1990|publisher=East Sussex County Libraries|location=Lewes|isbn=978-0-86147-315-1}}{{cite book|last1=Antram|first1=Nicholas|last2=Morrice|first2=Richard|title=Brighton and Hove|series=Pevsner Architectural Guides|publisher=Yale University Press|location=London|year=2008|isbn=978-0-300-12661-7}}

By contrast however Fashionable Brighton, 1820–1860 by Antony Dale (online) describes similar damage as 'wore badly' but does not attribute 'broken fingers, nose, mantle and arm on an unloved statue' to weathering or poor quality Coade stone. In 1819, after considerable complaints, the relic was removed and its present state is undocumented.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?1860|title=google.pt|isbn=9780853620280|last1=Dale|first1=Antony|year=1967|publisher=Oriel P. }}}} A few works produced by Coade, mainly dating from the later period, have shown poor resistance to weathering due to a bad firing in the kiln where the material was not brought up to a sufficient temperature.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}

=Demise=

Coade stone was only superseded after Mrs Coade's death in 1821, by products using naturally exothermic Portland cement as a binder. It appears to have been largely phased out by the 1840s.

{{citation needed span|date=February 2023|reason=Hidden text comments etc|Not entirely however: there are interesting examples of its continued use for architectural embellishments as late as 1887, in some grand Domestic Revival-style houses, built by the architect Frank H. Humphreys, on Pevensey Road, St Leonards-on-Sea, UK.}}
