VIETRI

VIETRI’s story is a love affair… When Susan, Frances, and their mother, Lee Gravely, took their first trip to Italy in 1983, they fell in love with the Italian culture. During their stay at the San Pietro Hotel in Positano, they went to lunch and found themselves captivated by the hotel’s colorful, handcrafted dinnerware. The next day they arranged to meet the artisans at a nearby factory in the town of Vietri sul Mare. As they watched the artisans paint, glaze, and fire each piece by hand, they were inspired to share the treasure they had discovered. The Gravelys returned home with an array of pieces with mixed patterns all related to nature. The collection would become known as Campagna, VIETRI’s flagship dinnerware.

Italian artisans have handcrafted VIETRI collections with the highest-quality clays and glazes from the soil of the Italian countryside. As they expand and create new products for the table, home, and garden, they are continually inspired by the beauty of Italy — the countryside and the cities, the culture and lifestyle, the history and traditions.

Curate your collection with pieces you love most, while mixing and matching your favorites to create your own personal style. VIETRI’s products are made to last with durable clays and high-quality glazes. The majority of their collections are dishwasher and microwave safe, so they’re convenient for everyday use.
