vietri

one of my favorite handcrafted dinnerware makers is vietri out of italy. they now have some beautiful new dinnerware called contrada, inspired by the traditions of sienna's II palio horse races. i am particularly fond of the swirling patterns named contrada plume, which 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 would compliment the traditional or modern table. contact vietri here.
