Spode Blue Italian Rectangle Handled Dish Small Description

Spode Blue Italian was made possible by Josiah Spode's perfection of blue under-glaze printing in 1784.This collection is a tapestry of blue scene's and figure's. Today we have an extensive collection of microwave and dishwasher safe dinnerware, giftware and accessories. This pattern also includes several oven to table items. The 12-inch Rectangular Handled Dish is oven to table safe.

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 9 by 11-3/4 inches, this Blue Italian rectangular handled dish can be used to bake, serve, and store a casserole, lasagna, or other main dish. Standing 2-3/4 inches high, the dish contains two small handles enabling it to be moved easily from the oven to the table. Based upon a late 17th Century drawing, the central design depicts classic Italian ruins in a pastoral setting and decorates the serving area of the dish as well as the outer bowl. An oversized 18th Century Chinese-inspired floral motif adorns the rim, small handles, and inner edge. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this rectangular handled dish can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. --Lea Werbel
