Old St. Nick Drum Ornament

Each Old St. Nick Ornament is inspired by maestro artisan Alessandro Taddei's childhood memories. Alessandro's mother used to read to him about Babbo Natale, Italy's Santa Claus, and he reimagines that jolly man in every handpainted design. On this charming ornament, Babbo Natale makes music on his drum. 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.
