ABOUT VIETRI A mother and her two daughters took a trip to Italy, and their enchantment with Italian dinnerware led to the creation of VIETRI.

EASY CARE FOR YOUR LASTRA ADDITION Dishwasher safe - We recommend using a non-citrus, non-abrasive detergent on the air dry cycle and not overloading the dishwasher. Hand washing is recommended for oversized items. Microwave safe - The temperature of handmade, natural clay items may vary after microwave use. We recommend allowing items to cool before taking them out of the microwave or using an oven mitt. Freezer safe - Items can withstand freezing temperatures, but please allow them to return to room temperature before putting them into the oven. Oven safe - VIETRI's casserole and baking dishes can be used in most conventional ovens and dishwashers. They are handmade of very dense clays and fired at extremely high temperatures, making them heat resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The handles of these pieces are decorative and should not be used for support. HANDCRAFTED IN ITALY A region in central Italy, Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history, craftsmanship, and influence on culture. The birthplace of the Renaissance, Tuscany is often called the art palace of Italy, and many of the world's greatest works of art come from the region. Ceramics have a long legacy in the area and maintain their place of importance in the region today.
