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 6-1/4 inches on each side, this Blue Italian square tray can be used to serve a small snack, hors d'oeuvres, or dessert. 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 the plate. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, the tray can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. --Lea Werbel
