Amazon.com: More than any other Spode pattern, Blue Italian has captured the imagination of consumers and collectors ever since its introduction in 1816. The richly rendered central scene of Italian architecture and landscape has mystified aficionados of the pattern who have tried to track down its actual location. The general consensus is that the image is a compilation of Italian settings, perhaps drawn by an early traveling artist. Contrasting with the classical scene is a floral border copied directly from eighteenth-century Chinese porcelain. Hugely popular, Blue Italian is produced on a wide array of tableware, cookware, and giftware shapes, and sets a truly impressive table. Made in England of high-quality Imperialware, the pattern is conveniently safe for the dishwasher and microwave.
