Materials & Craftsmanship

Italian Stoneware
Vietri Italian Stoneware is made from a blend of different clays, including stoneware clay that can be fired at higher temperatures for added strength and durability.

Handsculpted Decoration
Each Figural Tree Platter features intricately sculpted details that are individually formed and applied by skilled artisans. Subtle variations in the depth, texture, and character of the sculpted elements are natural to the handmade process and make each piece uniquely beautiful.

Care

Dishwasher Safe: Use a non-fragrant, non-citrus, non-abrasive detergent on the air-dry cycle (or econo heat when available). Avoid allowing pieces to touch during the high-pressure dishwasher cycle and do not overload the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before storing.

Microwave Safe: Because VIETRI pieces are handcrafted from natural clays, temperatures may vary after microwave use. Always use a potholder or oven mitt when handling heated pieces. Do not allow children to handle products heated in a microwave. Never place the piece in the microwave without food or liquid inside, and allow it to cool before removing it.

Freezer Safe: The platter can withstand freezing temperatures. Allow it to return to room temperature before placing it in the oven.

Oven Safe: VIETRI stoneware is heat resistant up to 400°F. Avoid extreme temperature changes, including moving the platter directly from the refrigerator to a hot oven or directly from the oven to the freezer. Hot pieces should not be placed on cool, damp, or unprotected surfaces.
