Tartaruga Spoon Rest

Handpainted sea turtles in hues of aqua and taupe glide across a clean, white canvas on the Tartaruga Spoon Rest. Maestro artisan, Gianluca Fabbro, utilizes a unique sponging technique to carefully add detail to each piece. 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.
