Today we have an extensive collection of microwave and dishwasher safe dinnerware, giftware and accessories. This 12 piece set contains 4 each Dinner Plate, Salad Plate and Mug. The Dinner and Salad Plates are manufactured from the UK, the mugs from China. desertcart.com Introduced in 1816, Spode's Blue Italian dinnerware is a classic that has remained popular among collectors and diners throughout the centuries. This 12-piece set is ideal for daily dining that are all dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Referred to as "transferware," the elaborate pattern is engraved by hand onto copper plates and then transferred onto the ceramic by skilled artisans using blue underglaze--a process that was perfected back in 1784 but is still carried out today at the original Spode factory in England. Influenced by a ink and wash drawing from the 17th century, Blue Italian pictures Roman ruins within a pastoral setting in the center of the dinner and salad plates and around the exterior of the mugs. A fantastic floral border on the rims of the gently scalloped plates and the handles of the mugs shows influences from early Chinese porcelain designs. Made of high-quality glazed earthenware, this place setting is delicate in appearance but has been updated to meet today's standards of durability. A varied assortment of dinnerware and home décor items in the Blue Italian pattern is also available to complete a collection. Review: Beautiful BLUE ITALIAN - This is beautiful dinnerware. I especially like this edition because of the mugs- it's really why I made this purchase since these 'cottage' mugs are so difficult to find and so expensive to buy on their own. I like that the set is Made in England and not in China. I have some larger Blue Italian mugs made in China and they are lighter in weight and not as quality as the England made pieces. I don't like when this pattern is faded and vastly prefer the deepest, most brilliant blue possible. These are not the latter, but they are a good, stong blue, nonetheless. I tried my luck and bought an desertcart Marketplace Open Box edition of this set and saved substantially...All the pieces were perfect, just the box was a bit damaged, so it was a great value to boot. If you like the pattern, at whatever price, these are great-looking dishes. Review: Love the design! - Spode has been in business for 250 years and it's heart-warming to know I can have a dinnerware set based on the antique blue and white transferware from the first half of the 19th century for modern day usage! I can use this in my oven or microwave and if it breaks, I can replace it! Although the mugs were manufactured in China, I would like to remind everyone that the Dutch and English merchants of the 17th and 18th century were importing blue and white ceramic wares from China where it was originally manufactured for commercial trade. The British contribution was to invent "transferware" around 1750 created by transferring an etching on thin paper to the ceramic piece and then firing it.
