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. Embrace the holiday season with the Old St. Nick Striped Hat Four-Piece Place Setting which includes a European dinner plate, salad plate, cereal bowl, and mug.
Dishwasher Safe- We recommend using a non-citrus, non-abrasive detergent on the air dry cycle and not overloading the dishwasher. Hand washing is recommended for oversized items.
Terra Bianca Earthenware - VIETRI uses natural earthenware clay that is indigenous to Italy. It is the most durable earthenware of the highest quality on the market today, using the best glazes and firing at the highest temperatures. With earthenware clay, we are able to get the variations in color and glaze, for which VIETRI is famous, that bring warmth and uniqueness to our products.
