Italian Dinnerware

In the countryside around Florence there is an ancient tradition of crafting dinnerware and potteries out of the local clay. It is no exaggeration to say that this reddish clay is essential to Italian civilization—in fact, the bricks of the traditional country houses that scatter the Tuscan landscape are composed of the same material. It is only natural that several small shops specializing in the production of decorated terracotta pottery and dishes have developed in and around Florence over the centuries, some of which still dominate the market today. This rich Italian harvest design with its deep yellow background is produced by one of those firms, exclusively for Essentials for Entertaining. Following their proud traditions, each piece is made and decorated by hand. While this ancient method is neither simple nor fast, the results are stunning plates with gracious shapes and vivid color.
