Spode Blue Italian Creamer
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.Measuring 2-1/2 inches wide and 4-1/2 inches from handle to spout, this Blue Italian 9-ounce creamer stands 4-1/4 inches high and is the perfect complement to the matching teapot, coffeepot, teacup, and sugar bowl. Based upon a late 17th Century drawing, the central design depicts classic Italian ruins in a pastoral setting and decorates the small, rounded bowl of the pitcher. An 18th Century Chinese-inspired floral motif adorns the lip of the vessel as well as the ornate handle. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this creamer can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher.--Lea Werbel
