Spode Blue Italian Teapot | Tea Infuser | 40-Ounces | Dishwasher and Microwave Safe | Made in England

The Spode Blue Italian pattern, characterized by its intricate blue and white designs, has been continuously produced in England since 1816. This stunning collection is a tapestry of blue scenes and figures, meticulously crafted to create a timeless and elegant aesthetic.

Josiah Spode's perfection of blue under-glaze printing in 1784 made the creation of the Blue Italian pattern possible. Utilizing this innovative printing process, varying shades of blue and white are masterfully combined to form the lovely design, adding a three-dimensional depth to each piece.

The Spode Blue Italian 8-Cup Covered Teapot is a prime example of the collection's exquisite craftsmanship. Measuring 5-1/2 inches wide and 10 inches from handle to spout, this teapot stands 6 inches high and is the perfect complement to the matching teacup, creamer, and milk jug.

The central design of the teapot features a stunning scene inspired by the Italian countryside, depicting classic Italian ruins in a pastoral setting. This design is based on a late 17th-century drawing, showcasing the collection's rich historical roots.

Adorning the handle of this rectangular vessel, as well as the lid and small finial, is an 18th-century Chinese-inspired floral motif. This intricate pattern adds a touch of Eastern elegance to the overall design, creating a harmonious fusion of influences.

Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this teapot is not only visually stunning but also highly durable. The rock-hard, translucent glaze ensures the vibrant colors and beautiful patterns are showcased to perfection. Additionally, the teapot is dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe, making it a practical and versatile addition to any household.

The Spode Blue Italian 8-Cup Covered Teapot is the perfect centerpiece for a stylish afternoon tea setting, as seen on the renowned television series "Downton Abbey." Its timeless elegance and impeccable craftsmanship make it an exceptional gift for those who love to entertain friends and family.
