Amazon.com Review: 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.
Whether displaying an assortment of fruit, or serving a champagne punch or holiday grog, this flower-shaped, 12-cup Blue Italian punch bowl stands 6 inches high and makes a statement no matter where it is located. Based upon a late 17th Century drawing, the central design depicts classic Italian ruins in a pastoral setting and decorates the outer bowl as well as the serving area of the vessel. An oversized 18th Century Chinese-inspired floral motif adorns the inner edge of this large bowl, while a dramatically curved rim completes the unique design. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this punch bowl can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. --Lea Werbel
