Characterized by handpressed edges, Pietra Serena pays tribute to the architectural details of Florence, Italy during the Renaissance. The Pietra Serena Espresso Cup & Saucer features a handpressed design and is a simply beautiful duo. 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.
