The Lastra White Spoon Rest protects your cooktops from your dishes and features clean, rustic white shapes. Inspired by the circular wooden slab used for centuries to create the outer mold for round wheels of Italian cheeses, this unique rectangular spoon rest excites with its charming and authentically Italian appeal. Since 1983, Vietri has specialized exclusively in Italian handcrafted ceramics, stainless and pewter flatware, mouth blown glassware, lamps, urns and planters. Families of artisans with 3 or 4 generations of history create these special pieces using centuries-old techniques. The subtle color from a paintbrush and the curving stroke of the artist's hand are never repeated in quite the same way, making each piece truly unique.
