Product Description

ABOUT VIETRI

VIETRI was inspired by a journey taken by a mother and her two daughters to Italy, where their fascination with Italian dinnerware sparked the brand's creation. With a commitment to exceptional design and craftsmanship, VIETRI beautifully aligns with the American lifestyle, celebrating the quintessential Italian values of enjoying life, cherishing relationships, appreciating nature, and indulging in good living experiences.

At VIETRI, we believe in the importance of gathering with family and friends, and we express this through our exquisite handcrafted Italian designs for the table, home, and garden. Each piece we create is a testament to the moments of joy that enrich our lives.

Our collections are made with love and authenticity in Italy. Notably, VIETRI’s signature holiday collection is inspired by maestro artisan Alessandro Taddei's cherished childhood memories, recalling stories his mother shared about Babbo Natale, Santa Claus in Italy.

TRADITIONAL AND WHIMSICAL OLD SAINT NICK COLLECTION

Embodying the spirit of Christmas regardless of age, the Old St. Nick collector values tradition and the joys of entertaining. They strive to create a warm, inviting, and cheerful environment for loved ones, characterized by a whimsically rustic style.

This enchanting collection invites viewers into Old St. Nick's daily life as he prepares for the festive season. We see him gathering firewood, wandering through the forest, delivering gifts, and even relaxing on a log after a busy day filled with cookies and wine. At heart, Old St. Nick is an outdoors enthusiast who respects and cherishes nature, taking only what he needs from the earth with gratitude and kindness. He shares a friendship with the local wildlife, including his frequent visitor, a cardinal.
