Spode Blue Italian Vegetable Dish and Cover
Continuously produced in England since 1816, the Blue Italian pattern from Spode will easily find a home on a casual or more formal table. Each piece utilizes an underglaze blue printing process created by Josiah Spode, which is still employed today. The varying shades of blue and white give depth to each piece, enhancing the lovely setting. The central scene decorating each tableware piece is based upon a late 17th Century drawing depicting Italian ruins in a pastoral landscape, while an 18th Century Chinese-inspired pattern adorns the outer edges.Measuring 9-1/2- by 12-inches and standing 6 inches tall, this covered vegetable bowl is the perfect dish to serve a side of vegetables, rice, or potatoes. The accompanying lid ensures that food stays at the desired temperature. Crafted from Spode's Imperialware, each piece can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher.--Lea Werbel
