Inspired by the poetic Japanese art of Kintsugi and brought to life by maestro Italian artisans, each Storia piece celebrates the beauty found in imperfection. The Storia Blue and Gold Round Platter features handpainted designs with gilded seams, and it exudes both old-world charm and modern high design. Each piece demonstrates the strength and elegance in resilience and makes a striking statement piece on your table. 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.
