More Than a Plate — A Piece of Italian History

More Than a Plate — A Piece of Italian History

Terracotta has been part of Italian life for centuries — from rustic countryside kitchens to family trattorias where recipes and stories are passed from one generation to the next.

Vietri created this collection to capture that feeling: warm evenings, shared meals, and beautifully simple living.

Each plate reflects the artistry of traditional Italian ceramics, with natural textures and rich clay tones that make every table feel welcoming and lived-in. They’re designed for people who believe dining is more than eating — it’s gathering, celebrating, and creating memories around the table.

In the heart of Italy lies Umbria — a region of rolling hills, stone villages, olive groves, and a centuries-old pottery tradition shaped by the land itself.

For generations, Umbrian artisans have worked with rich local clay, transforming simple earth into beautiful functional pieces designed for everyday life. In towns throughout the region, pottery workshops still honor techniques passed down through families — shaping, glazing, and firing each piece with patience and care.
