Spode Blue Italian 5-Piece Place Setting for Dinners

The Spode Blue Italian collection was made possible by Josiah Spode's perfection of blue under-glaze printing in 1784. This pattern is a tapestry of blue scenes and figures, offering an extensive collection of microwave and dishwasher-safe dinnerware, giftware, and accessories, including several oven-to-table items. The 5-Piece Placesetting features a Dinner Plate, Salad Plate, Bread and Butter Plate, Teacup, and Saucer.

Continuously produced in England since 1816, the Blue Italian pattern from Spode can 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.
