✿ Dishwasher Safe- Vietri recommends using a non-fragrant/non-citrus, non-abrasive detergent on the air dry cycle (or econo heat when available). It is recommended to place the dishes so they avoid touching during the high pressure dishwashing and as such they recommend you do not overload the dishwasher. All dishes should be dried thoroughly before being stored.
✿ Terra Bianca - A white earthenware clay that is often used for handpainted designs as it provides the ideal canvas for storytelling, allowing colors to truly come to life.
