VIETRI's Lastra - Inspired by the Art of Parmesan

One of the most popular stoneware collections at Sallie Home is the Lastra collection from VIETRI. Introduced in 2012, VIETRI's Lastra was the company's foray into stoneware. What makes this dinnerware and serveware collection so popular among our brides is its chic and classic rustic shapes, which bring Old World charm into your kitchen. The stone makeup of Lastra makes it extremely durable and chip-resistant. In addition, Lastra is oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe, making it perfect for any modern kitchen. You can use it for all your needs - from baking to serving. 

Handcrafted in Tuscany, Italy, the VIETRI - Lastra collection is made by the same artists who create VIETRI's Tuscan solid collections. Lastra means "strap" in Italian, so it shouldn't surprise you that Lastra's rustic design was inspired from the overlapping wooden strap that was used to form Parmesan and other Italian cheeses for centuries. The dusting of brown on the edges of Lastra pieces is a reminder of the ash that artisan cheese makers dusted over the cheese to preserve it.

Italian artisans design the shapes of each Lastra piece, handform and fire them, and then Lastra is hand-glazed in either white or gray. The pieces get fired a second time, and they sent to adorn your dinner table. 

                  

             

A fun fact about Lastra - This is the only VIETRI Dinnerware collection that offers two different sized dinner plates - a European sized Dinner Plate and an American one. 

Lastra is available in two colors: Lastra White and Lastra Gray.  Both collections are available at Sallie Home. We keep Lastra in stock, so it will ship out immediately.
