This multi-purpose 6-1/4-inch Blue Italian cereal bowl stands 1-1/2 inches high and can be used to serve a small snack, ice cream, fresh fruit, or of course cereal. Based upon a late 17th Century drawing, the central design depicts classic Italian ruins in a pastoral setting, while an 18th Century Chinese-inspired floral motif decorates the outer edge of the bowl. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this bowl can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. --Lea Werbel

Product Description
Produced continuously since 1816, Blue Italian remains one of Spode's most famous and popular patterns. Its inspiration originally came from a book of engravings, and the original watercolor is attributed to a Dutch artist, deMoucheron who worked in the 17th century. Collected by museums, connoisseurs and lovers of blue and white transferware the world over, this pattern is as exciting now as it was nearly 2 centuries ago.
