VIETRI tableware and home and garden accessories are handcrafted and handpainted in a variety of Italian clays. For years of enjoyment, please treat all products with care.
All Italian stoneware and stoneware collections are dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and oven safe and highly resistant to chipping. All earthenware (terra cotta, terra bianca, and terra marrone) collections are dishwasher safe and most are microwave safe. Some may be placed in the freezer and oven if noted on piece.
We recommend using the low-energy/air-dry cycle and not overloading the dishwasher. Please use a mild, non-abrasive, non-fragrant/non-citrus dishwashing detergent. Handwashing is recommended for decorative and oversized accessories.
Over time, crazing - the formation of miniscule lines in the glaze - may occur on ceramics. This contributes to the unique visual quality of Italian clays and does not affect the durability or safety of the product. Since earthenware is porous, it expands and contracts with extreme heat and cold.
All dinnerware and serving accessories meet FDA and Prop 65 requirements, except when noted otherwise.
