Old St. Nick Pedestal Fruit Bowl

VIETRI’s signature holiday collection is a celebration of nostalgia, family, and holiday spirit. When maestro artisan Alessandro Taddei was a small boy, his mother read him stories about Babbo Natale, Italy’s Santa Claus. Alessandro transforms those memories into the whimsical and joyful designs on the Old St. Nick Pedestal Fruit Bowl, a perfect centerpiece for the table all season long. 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.
