Manufactured and decorated by hand in Sicily for over 200 years, this Italian pottery from Caleca maintains a high level of durability, beauty, and tradition. Individually constructed and painted by hand, each piece receives a stamp ensuring its authenticity. With or without the official seal, the brightly saturated colors and whimsically fresh patterns are instantly recognizable as Caleca designs.
An 11-inch dinner plate, 8-1/2-inch shallow bowl, 8-1/4 inch salad plate, 6-ounce tea cup, and 6-inch saucer make up the Blue Garland 5-piece place setting with service for one from Caleca. Soft blue centers cover the serving areas, encircled by a garland of delicate rosebuds, while light green leaves and pink accents add a romantic feel to the pattern. Crafted from lead-free, non-toxic clay, all Caleca dinnerware is chip-resistant and can safely be placed in the dishwasher and microwave. --Lea Werbel

Product Description
"Blue Garland", the blue version of the well-liked Caleca pattern "Pink Garland." This decor is identical to the pink version with the exception that it is in a light-blue color. Its simple rose-bud theme appeals to just about everyone because it is not over-whelming, but just has that bit of romantic flair that is quite dainty and delicate. Each Caleca ceramic piece is individually hand-painted and "autographed" on the bottom by its decorator, after which is applied the registered Caleca trademark, authenticating to the originality and high quality of the product. Just recently, Caleca Italia has reached a milestone in developing a new low porosity, extra strong, but lighter ceramic body comparable to stoneware, vitreous and porcelain, rendering the Caleca products highly resistant to chipping and prolonged usage. Born from an antique tradition of over two-hundred years, realized from the most modern system and created by artists of diversified nationalities, the Caleca products are the fruit of a perfect fusion of tradition, good taste and technology.
