bone china set the standard for all of England. That quality continues

Spode Blue Italian
The dinnerware has been in continous production since 1816 and remains
a best seller. The Spode Blue Italian pattern has been featured on plates,
tableware, cookware, and giftware. For years there has been a mystery
as to whether the Italian scene featured on the Blue Italian dinnerware
came from, recently it was noted the the design on the dinnerware is
a composite representing various regions and places in Italy, but there
is no physical location that contains of the element of the Blue Italian
design at on location. Rather that the designer of this pattern was
a traveler through the country and these were the images to best represent
Italy.
