Ostrica means “oyster” in Italian, and the Ostrica Glass Blue Large Platter captures the organic and fluid beauty of sea life. Each piece is a uniquely shaped work of art to be used either as home decor or as a serving 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.
