Product Description

Introduced in 1816, Spode's Blue Italian dinnerware is a classic that has remained popular among collectors and diners throughout the centuries. This 12-piece set is ideal for daily dining as it includes four 10-inch dinner plates, four 8-inch salad plates, and four casual 9-ounce mugs that are all dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Referred to as "transferware," the elaborate pattern is engraved by hand onto copper plates and then transferred onto the ceramic by skilled artisans using blue underglaze--a process that was perfected back in 1784 but is still carried out today at the original Spode factory in England. Influenced by a ink and wash drawing from the 17th century, Blue Italian pictures Roman ruins within a pastoral setting in the center of the dinner and salad plates and around the exterior of the mugs. A fantastic floral border on the rims of the gently scalloped plates and the handles of the mugs shows influences from early Chinese porcelain designs. Made of high-quality glazed earthenware, this place setting is delicate in appearance but has been updated to meet today's standards of durability. A varied assortment of dinnerware and home décor items in the Blue Italian pattern is also available to complete a collection. --Cristina Vaamonde

Product Description

Hearthstone Square dinnerware from Corelle sets a vibrant table with color choices from its Spice Alley collection. Choose from Chili Red, Turmeric Yellow, Bay Leaf Green, Indigo Blue, or Royal White, and mix and match if desired. Clean-lined and modern, the gently squared pieces take their cue from Asian styling for a refined, timeless look. The backs of the plates, interior of the mug, and exterior of the soup bowl are black for sophisticated contrast.

Ready right out of the box to seat four diners, this set includes four of each of the following: 11-1/2-inch dinner plate; 8-3/4-inch luncheon, salad, or dessert plate; 28-ounce bowl for soup, cereal, or ice cream; and a 14-ounce mug. Corelle makes the glossy dinnerware of durable stoneware that stands up to everyday use in the microwave and dishwasher, with the added bonus of being oven-safe for keeping food warm. The set is covered by Corelle's one-year replacement policy for any piece that chips or breaks during normal household use. --Ann Bieri
