Spode Blue Italian 5-Piece Place Setting
Continuously produced in England since 1816, the Blue Italian pattern from Spode will easily find a home on a casual or more formal table. Utilizing an underglaze printing process created by Josiah Spode and still employed today, varying shades of blue and white make up the lovely design, adding a 3-dimensional depth to each piece.This 5-piece dinnerware place setting with service for one beautifully complements the entire line of Blue Italian tableware pieces. Comprised of a 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, 7-1/2-inch salad plate, 6-1/4-inch bread and butter plate, 5-3/4-inch saucer, and 6-ounce teacup, this set makes a wonderful starter gift, wedding present, or addition to an established collection. Based upon a late 17th Century drawing, the central design depicts classic Italian ruins in a pastoral setting, while an 18th Century Chinese-inspired floral motif decorates the outer edge of each item in this 5-piece set. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this dinnerware set can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher.--Lea WerbelWhat's in the Box5-piece dinnerware place setting.
