Please give our vendor up to two weeks to ship this product.

These hand-painted ceramic salad plates from Vietri’s flagship Campagna collection are a playful, heirloom-quality addition to any tabletop. Inspired by pastoral southern Italy, every unique piece features a whimsical hand-rendered animal motif. Choose between a horse, rooster, cow, pig, fish or bird, plus vibrant wildflowers or bright coastal algae native to the area; mix and match these dishwasher-safe plates to add extra style to your table setting. Terracotta, locally sourced from the Amalfi Coast, has been used for Italian ceramics for centuries: the first pieces were dried in the sun. Today, Vietri’s artisans make the Campagna line the same way ceramics have been made for 500 years, but instead of using the sun’s heat to set each piece, each one is fired in a kiln. The Campagna line’s cheeky name refers both to the line’s inspiration—“campagna” is Italian for “countryside”—and Vietri’s origins in Campania, a rural, coastal region of southern Italy.

Clay found in Italy, particularly Tuscany, is famously durable and historically was used for utilitarian ends, like roofing tiles or bricks. However, despite being coarser than other clays that are popular for tabletop ceramics (like porcelain), terracotta lends itself well to serveware, taking on glaze and shape beautifully to become heirloom quality platters, bowls and the like.
