COLLECTION DESCRIPTION VIETRI’s signature holiday collection is created from maestro artisan Alessandro Taddei’s childhood memories of stories his mother used to read to him about Babbo Natale, Italy’s Santa Claus. Alessandro relays the stories through his whimsical designs on the Old St. Nick Handled Bowl with Bird Watcher, providing us a glimpse into Old St. Nick’s daily outdoor adventures leading up to preparations for each holiday season.
Alessandro Taddei is the maestro artisan behind this collection. With over 30 years of experience in ceramics and an education at the Montelupo School for Ceramics, Alessandro is a visionary in the ceramic world. He has painted in the same Tuscan factory since 1991 and has won national awards for his talents.
