Italian maiolica is foodsafe serveware but may not be used for cooking. It may be washed in a dishwasher; we recommend using an energy-saver or low-heat dry cycle to avoid drastic changes in temperature. When storing mugs in a cupboard against an outside wall, we recommend you swish warm tap water in them before pouring boiling water directly into the cup; or put a spoon in the cup to absorb the heat. Crazing of the outer glaze sometimes occurs over time; this does not affect the foodsafe quality of the maiolica.

Vietri (pronounced Vee-ay-tree) is an American importer of Italian handcrafted tableware.  Founded 25 years ago by the Gravely sisters Fraces and Susan with their mother--after becoming enchanted by the colorful ceramics they discovered on a tour of Southern Italy--it has since become one of the most successful importers of Italian handscrafted ceramics, glassware, flatware and table linens in the States.  Beginning with a manufacturer in the small Italian fishing village Vietri sul Mare near the Amalfi coast, they now work with more than 30 manufacturers scattered across Italy.  the name is a play on "tre vite"--Italian for "three lives."  The VIETRI brand combines the richness of european culture with a sophisticated American spirit.  Fashion forward, yet classic, italian home accessories are designed to complement the good life and celebrate Italy and all that in encompasses--a love of life, people, nature, and simply good living.  Families of artisans handcraft many of VIETRI's products with 3 or 4 generations of history, using centuries-old techniques.  the subtle color from a paintbrush and the curving stroke of the artist's hand are never repeated in quite the same way, making ieach VOIETRI piece truly unique.
