Continuously produced since 1816, the Blue Italian pattern from Spode will easily find a home on a casual or more formal table. Utilizing an underglaze printing process created by Josiah Spode and still employed today, varying shades of blue and white make up the lovely design, adding a 3-dimensional depth to each piece.

This Blue Italian 6-ounce teacup and 5-3/4-inch saucer beautifully complements the entire line of Blue Italian tableware pieces and can be used to serve tea or coffee. 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 edges of the teacup and saucer. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, this set can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. --Lea Werbel

Customer Reviews

spode Teacup and saucer
I ordered 2 Spode Teacups and Saucers when I ordered a Spode Teapot. I was disappointed to find that the cups and saucers were made in China while the Teapot was made in England. Had I known that the cups and saucers were made in China I would not have purchased either Spode product. I believe country of origin should be noted.

Amazon continuing to send "Made in China"
When I got the cup & saucers they were Made in China and NOT in England as the Amazon site states. The same problem was noted last year but there has been no change from Amazon's side.
I sent a complaint and they promptly dispatched another "Made in China" set. Totally ridiculous.
Both sets are being returned.
Wish it was possible to give negative stars for all the aggravation and disappointment.

STILL made in China! Very disappointed.
We added these cups to our wedding registry - I love the pattern and wanted to get good quality earthenware. When they arrived, I was very disappointed to find the cups are made in China, NOT England as advertised! This is a textbook example of false advertising. I am surprised to see that the same problem was noted last year without any change on Amazon's (or Spode's!) part. I'll be returning these cups; I wanted English china, not Chinese china, for a reason. It is much better quality and less likely to have lead in the pigments. It really is absurd; if I wanted cheap Chinese crockery, I'd buy it down the street for two dollars!
