Zafferano means saffron in Italian, and this dinnerware pattern with saffron-yellow bands and blue flowers adds a summery touch to the table any time of the year. One of the many accessories for the place settings is this rectangular platter, large enough to carry the Thanksgiving turkey to the table or to hold a multitude of sandwiches in a buffet line. The center of the platter, which has rounded corners for a softened look, is filled with a yellow-and-white gingham pattern, while small blue flowers dance around the border. More saffron-yellow bands highlight the rim.
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
Solarity of the Caleca pattern Zafferano reflects a scattering of delicate small powder-blue flowers, the strong presence of the typical Caleca yellow distributes itself in the delicate decoration and in its light brushed-stroked rays.
