Blue Italian Collection Teapot with Tea Infuser

Spode's Blue Italian collection was made possible by Josiah Spode's perfection of blue under-glaze printing in 1784. This collection is a tapestry of blue scenes and figures. Today, the brand offers an extensive range of microwave and dishwasher-safe dinnerware, giftware, and accessories, including several oven-to-table items. The 8-cup Covered Teapot is a perfect choice for any entertaining occasion and a lovely gift to give or receive.

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 three-dimensional depth to each piece.

Measuring 5-1/2 inches wide and 10 inches from handle to spout, this Blue Italian 8-cup teapot stands 6 inches high and is the perfect complement to the matching teacup, creamer, and milk jug. Based upon a late 17th-century drawing, the central design depicting classic Italian ruins in a pastoral setting decorates the rounded bowl. An 18th-century Chinese-inspired floral motif adorns the handle of this rectangular vessel as well as the lid and small finial. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this teapot can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher.

The Spode Blue Italian 2.5 pt Teapot is the perfect centerpiece for a stylish afternoon tea setting, as seen on Downton Abbey. Crafted out of premium high-quality earthenware with a rock-hard, translucent glaze, the vibrant colors and beautiful patterns are showcased to perfection. The teapot is dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe, making it a practical and durable choice. It makes the perfect complement to the Blue Italian matching teacup, creamer, and milk jug, making it a great gift for those who love to entertain friends and family.
