Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Giardino means garden in Italian, and leafy sprays of flowers allow this dinnerware pattern to aptly live up to its name. A sunny yellow center on each bowl and plate, surrounded by flowers of pink and blue, lends a cheerful air. Pink and green stripes circle the yellow center, while yellow and blue stripes accent the rim. This five-piece dinnerware set, service for one, consists of an 11-1/4-inch dinner plate, 8-inch salad plate, 8-1/2-inch soup or pasta bowl, 8-ounce cup, and a 6-inch saucer. The cup is glazed white on the inside and the saucer is all white except for a blue stripe around the rim. Large and flat with just a slightly upturned rim, the dinner plate doubles as a serving platter for luncheon sandwiches or a small cake.

Made in Italy of chip-resistant ceramic, each Caleca dinnerware 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 craftsmanship and modern design sensibilities. --Ann Bieri

Product Description

The Caleca pattern "Giardino", whose translated name implies "Garden" is just that ? a garden of color dainty flowers arranged in a circular motion on each piece. A very colorful and bright expression of taste that livens up your tabletop in a pleasing way. 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.
