Mottled and varied, the warm yellow background of Frutta dinnerware resembles the stucco of a sun-drenched Italian villa. Lightly sketched fruit, such as purple grapes and red apples, along with green tendrils and accents bands, lend Frutta even more of a rustic appeal. Accessorizing Frutta dinnerware is this set of two serving dishes: a vegetable bowl and platter. Both display the pattern's hand-painted fruit and may be used for a wide variety of purposes. Salad lovers will even find that the serving bowl makes a good individual bowl for a hearty salad-as-entrée.
Made in Italy of chip-resistant ceramic, each Caleca piece is hand-painted by skilled artisans with glazes that meet US standards by being free of lead and cadmium. The hand-painting results in visible brush strokes with variations in tone that afford a casual, comfortable look. Chip-resistant and safe for the microwave and dishwasher, Caleca dinnerware celebrates the marriage of traditional Italian craftsmanship and modern design sensibilities. --Ann Bieri
Product Description
Caleca pattern Frutta, a practical pattern theme that resembles fresh fruit on a sketched yellow background that looks so real that it is hard not to "pick up" the fruit from the plate.
