VIETRI dinnerware and serving accessories are handmade and hand painted. For years of enjoyment, please treat VIETRI products with care. VIETRI dinnerware is dishwasher safe. We recommend using the low energy/air dry cycle and not overloading the dishwasher. Hand washing is recommended for decorative or oversized accessories.  Due to the firing process, many pieces have undersides that are not fully glazed. For these pieces, we recommend using a liner underneath them to protect surfaces from moisture and scratches.          

Since earthenware is porous, it expands and contracts with extreme heat and extreme cold. Do not place ceramics in the freezer. Over time, the formation of minuscule lines in the glaze, or "crazing," may occur. This contributes to the unique visual appeal of quality earthenware and does not affect the durability or safety of the product.

All dinnerware and serving accessories meet FDA requirements.

Some of our products, particularly the baking pieces and Incanto Dinnerware, are microwave safe. While using our dinnerware in your microwave will not harm the microwave, the items may become very hot due to natural air pockets in the clay. The product may also develop hairline craze lines that do not affect durability, but can make the product appear aged. If you choose to use ceramics in the microwave, please use caution when removing as they may retain high heat and craze over time.
