Spode Blue Italian Sandwich Tray
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 13-inch Sandwich Tray is a versatile piece to be used for many food and decorative items.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 by 13-1/4 inches, this versatile Blue Italian rectangular tray can be used to serve tea sandwiches, canapés, pastries, or cheese and crackers. 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 and the two small handles. Crafted from Spode’s high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, the tray can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. –Lea Werbel
