VIETRI's Old St. Nick

Christmas may be over, but at Sallie Home, we never stop celebrating. We just recently added the VIETRI Old St. Nick collection to our website, in anticipation and excitement for bringing in Old St. Nick in September. This is VIETRI's bestselling collection, year after year. It's a collector's item, and our customers love it. 



Created by maestro artisan, Alessandro Taddei, the Old St. Nick collection from VIETRI is truly exceptional and lends a festive air to your home during the Christmas season. 

We can't help but love the whimsical expressions that Santa has in each individual piece - from the "lazy" Santa, lounging around in his pajamas, to the "hungry" Santa as he munches on Christmas cookies.  All pieces from the Old St. Nick collection are made of terra bianca (white earth or white clay), low fired white. Each portrait of jolly St. Nick is painted directly on the fired surface, so that each brush stroke is seen in beautiful detail. This VIETRI holiday collection is handmade in Tuscany, Italy.  This holiday dinnerware and serveware collection is Dishwasher Safe, and select pieces are oven safe.


Inspired by Alessandro's childhood memories of the stories his beloved mother used to read to him about Babbo Natale (the Italian Father Christmas) when he was a child, the Old St. Nick collection  is fun, creative, and beautiful.
