Cheap Spode Blue Italian Earthenware 6-Pint Soup Tureen and Cover (Kitchen) Price

Measuring 8-1/2 by 13-3/4 inches, this Blue Italian 3-quart rectangular covered soup tureen stands 10 inches high and provides ample room for serving vegetables, a stew, or soup, while a groove in the accompanying lid ensures that a serving utensil can remain in the dish at all times. Resting on four decorative feet, with two ornate handles on each side, the tureen adds a regal elegance to the table. Based upon a late 17th Century drawing, the central design depicting classic Italian ruins in a pastoral setting decorates the outer bowl and the top of the lid, while an oversized 18th Century Chinese-inspired floral motif adorns the outer edges. Crafted from Spode's high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, all tableware items can safely be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. --Lea Werbel
