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. An adorable replica of a full-sized Blue Italian tray, this 3-by-5-3/4-inch mini handled tray is the perfect addition to a miniature toy set or a collector's series. 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 outer edge and handles of the tray. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this small tray can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. --Lea Werbel
