The traditions of Siena's Il Palio horse races inspire Contrada Dinnerware, named for the 17 contrade, or districts of Siena that compete in this legendary festival. Dashes of green, gold and spice inside a gold rim upon handformed shapes evoke the pageantry of the famous race. Majestically shaped chargers and footed mugs contribute old world elegance. Swirling patterns on five very special accessories, named Contrada Plume, are signed by Rita Rossi, original creator of the Plume design more than 20 years ago. The sophisticated mix of Contrada dashes and Contrada Plume swirls bring centuries of Italian pageantry to today's tables.

Translated 'Old Village', Borgo Antico is a handpainted Tuscan decor from the 15th century. Inspired by the ancient belief that every color has a special meaning, sage represented the unfolding of Spring after the close of Winter. Beautifully painted by master artisans on durable terra bianca (white clay), this elegant collection exudes the old-world quality of an Italian aristocrat's home.

With their brilliant, handpainted colors, graceful terra cotta forms, and elegant designs, Umbria patterns have been a favorite of VIETRI collectors for many years.   

Inspired by Tuscan peasant pieces from the 1300s, Crema echoes Italian history and design with a lovely glazed terra cotta rim that provides textural contrast to the cream-on-cream surfaces. The simple shapes, soothing cream color and subtle terra cotta edges create a statement of quiet elegance. 

Passion and chocolate go hand in hand, perhaps never more so than with Cioccolata. Today condsidered one of the new neutrals in sophisticated decorating, the creamy semi-sweet brown of Cioccolata is as rich and luxurious as the much-craved sweet for which it's named. This is the newest in the Cucina Fresca family of dinnerware from VIETRI, cherished by collectors for their soft, warm coloring.

The nine most popular shapes of VIETRI's terra cotta Cucina Fresca Dinnerware collection come alive in a spicy paprika and saffron combination for warm accents on the dinner table and in the home. Echoing pieces made by Italian peasants in the 1300's, Paprika's hand formed shapes have simplicity and elegance that appeal to both contemporary and traditional customers. Pieces are available as noted incombinations of paprika/saffron (paprika on the top or inside surface, saffron on the bottom or outside surface) or saffron/paprika (saffron on the top or inside surface, paprika on the bottom or outside surface).

Meaning "fresh kitchen," the charming shapes of this dinnerware offer simple sophistication in muted cream, saffron and sage. In the 1300s, peasants used rustic glazes on their hand-thrown pottery that separated during firing, creating a deckled terra cotta edge. VIETRI reproduces these lovely, rustic edges today using clear glazes to authenticate the peasant pottery used throughout Tuscany until the 1800s. 

"Flowers of the Woods" are suggested by simple brush strokes in rust and green upon softly-shaped cream surfaces. A flower seems to have fallen upon the center of each piece while a double vine of green and rust encircles the rim. Made of high fired Italian terra cotta, Fiori di Bosco is a refined floral pattern that appeals to both men and women.

With its crackled glaze, Rosso Vecchio has us seeing red--the Italian color of life, love and passion! Due to the nature of the red pigment, over time fine crackled lines will develop in the glaze, adding character and an aged effect. Hence the name, Rosso Vecchio, which means "Aged Red," like a fine Italian wine. Handcrafted of terra cotta and dishwasher-safe, Rosso Vecchio promises years of beautiful enjoyment. Making a bold and sophisticated fashion-color statement, Rosso Vecchio also exudes comfort and warmth with its deep, rich hue.

This isn't dinnerware, it's ART! Tuscan landscape paintings upon our whitewashed salad plates and serving pieces made of high-fired terra cotta recall favorite memories of hills, villas and fields of grapes and olive trees. Tuscany's landscape colors range from rose to cerulean blue, Aegean green to sienna. The hues, the artistic compositions, the unique scenes and the joyous mood of this original dinnerware are all uniquely Tuscan! 

The charming, white-glazed shapes, made of high-fired terra cotta, were originally handmade in the 1300's by Tuscan peasants. Their rustic glazes separated during firing showing the terra cotta at the edges. Using wax and clear glaze, Italian artisans recreate these lovely, rustic edges, which add texture, history and character to the simple white surfaces. Each piece of Bianco has one-of-a-kind, Old World character as well as sophisticated simplicity. Bianco appeals to both traditional and modern tastes.
