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 platter, this 4-1/2- by 6-1/2-inch mini platter 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. An 18th Century Chinese-inspired floral motif decorates the outer edge of this miniature platter, while curved corners complete the unique design. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this small platter can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. --Lea Werbel
