The varying shades of blue in the detailed designs are the highlight of this Spode blue china, adding a depth and an enchantment for you to enjoy.Since the closure of the Spode factory in 2009 and the subsequent take over by Portmeirion, the range of Blue Italian now produced is very limited and many pieces are no longer available. This would suggest that the price of older and unusual Spode pieces will only increase in value.Blue Italian, was introduced by Spode in about 1816 and has been in continuous production for 195 years! It was immediately popular and remains a best seller today.Over the years it has been produced on a wide variety of shapes in earthenware, one catalog from between the wars mentions over 700 pieces! •••TERMS OF SALE•••SHIPPING: USA OnlyPayments must be received within 3 days of auction completion.
