Vietri: Irresistibly Italian


At Kellie Burke Interiors we strongly believe in “designing for your lifestyle”. We feel that the spaces we design should feel well traveled, lived in and kid friendly.  No more “plastic living rooms” and off limits spaces and accessories.  When we had the opportunity to carry Vietri dinnerware, we were delighted that they share the same philosophy.  Vietri dinnerware is high quality dinnerware imported from Italy, however, it is meant to be used for every day. 

The days of fine china and cut crystal stemware are over.  Modern brides and young families today do not share the same lifestyle as their parents and previous generations did; today we want classic elegance for everyday use at a great price.  And that is exactly what Vietri offers. 

They have a vast variety of dinnerware, stemware and linens, and their line even extends into linens and home décor.  With the variety of selection that they have there surely is something for everyone. Our favorite is the Incanto line, which encompasses a variety of shapes. There are ridges and stripes, and scallops and ruffles.  The line is made from black clay with a white glaze over it, which gives all of the pieces an antiqued look. Because the dinner plate differs from the salad plate, which differs from the bowl, it adds visual interest whether combined in a table setting or used alone for more casual dining.  The best part? Dishwasher safe! Perfect for a busy young couple, a growing family, or anyone who doesn’t want to hand wash any longer. 

For those with more simple, modern tastes, we recommend the Blanco line, which features clean, simple lines.  Shown here in white, it comes in a variety of colors which allows you to mix and match and achieve the perfect look for you.  


We love the wide color selection because, at Kellie Burke Interiors, we love starting off with a crisp white table, and then adding in the trends and colors as desired.  Rather than doing an entire table in a single trend, the option to add it in or subtract it, and to mix and match ensures longevity and many, many options.
