Vietri, made in Italy platter measures 18 3/4 in long in. In perfect condition. I love the irregular edges and red/orange clay showing along edge of finish.
Please note why I do not add free shipping on heavy items, I know Etsy is trying to penalize sellers who can't offer free shipping by dropping your item in the search page rankings. They suggest adding the cost of shipping into the price, and a lot of seller's are doing so... However, if you are an east coast buyer shipping will run $9.12 but to West coast it runs $20.40, this is hardly fair for someone on the east coast if I tried to hide the shipping in my price. So as an effort to keep prices low, and be transparent, I must charge for shipping.
VIETRI Italian (from ebay)
VIETRI is a collection of hand-made Italian tableware and home decor items named after the town where the business was started. Made in Italy by artisans whose craft has been passed down through the generations, the items are produced using no machinery and no mass-production techniques.
What types of products does VIETRI offer?
They produce a wide selection of home decor and tabletop items. Their collections include mouth-blown glassware, handpainted ceramics, hand-turned earthenware, and hand-carved wood.
For tabletop items, they offer drinkware, complete sets of dinnerware, pewter flatware, stainless-steel flatware, serving and storage pieces, and table linens. For home decor, you'll find several items from wall decorations to pieces for table and entertainment. They also offer seasonal and holiday-themed collections of items.
How are VIETRI items made and where?
Using nearly thirty independent factories within the country for their production process, their products are handcrafted in Italy.
Using techniques passed down through generations of artisans, their products are made by hand by craftsmen in Italy. The tiny variations, whether it's the size, color, or detailing, give the items antiquing irregularities, making them recognizable as VIETRI but giving individuality.
Are there supposed to be differences in patterns and colors?
Yes, because each piece is individually made by hand the shapes may vary slightly. The artwork from one piece to the next may differ because each piece is hand painted and finished. No machine stamps appear on any of the items as machines are not used in any part of their production.
Materials: Ceramic.
