Product Description

About Vietri

The journey of VIETRI began when a mother and her two daughters fell in love with Italian dinnerware during a trip to Italy. This passion ignited a brand that is now synonymous with exquisite design and craftsmanship. VIETRI not only complements the American lifestyle but also celebrates the irresistible allure of Italian culture—a culture deeply rooted in a love for life, nature, people, and the joys of living well.

At VIETRI, we honor the moments spent with loved ones, cherishing the beauty that handcrafted Italian designs bring to our tables, homes, and gardens. Our signature pieces symbolize the joy and love we share during life’s special moments and gatherings.

The Signature Collection

Our hallmark holiday collection is inspired by the childhood memories of maestro artisan Alessandro Taddei. These pieces reflect the enchanting tales his mother told him about Babbo Natale, the Italian counterpart to Santa Claus.

Traditional and Whimsical Old St. Nick Collection

The collectors of the Old St. Nick series embrace the wondrous magic of Christmas, valuing traditions, entertaining, and crafting a warm and welcoming atmosphere for family and friends. The collection embodies a whimsically rustic style.

Through this collection, we are invited to witness Old St. Nick's preparations for the holiday season. We see him gathering firewood, wandering through snowy woods, delivering gifts, transporting Christmas trees, savoring cookies, sipping wine, and even resting on a log after a long day filled with festive cheer. At heart, Old St. Nick is an outdoor enthusiast, who treasures nature and respects the environment, taking only what he needs with gratitude. He enjoys the company of birds and squirrels and even has a favorite visiting cardinal.

The Artistry Behind the Collection

Alessandro Taddei, the maestro artisan behind this enchanting collection, boasts over 30 years of experience in ceramics. Educated at the prestigious Montelupo School for Ceramics, Alessandro has spent his career at the same Tuscan factory since 1991, garnering national awards that showcase his incredible talent.
