Veneto, in Italy's northeastern corner, has a ceramic production that is distinctive and hard to replicate, and the Nutcrackers Celebration Bucket comes straight out of that tradition. Maestro artisan Gianluca Fabbro hand paints a Christmas classic onto terra bianca, the white earthenware clay VIETRI turns to when a design has a story to tell. The bucket is the piece you reach for when the party outgrows the table: bottles on ice, rolls under a napkin, greenery and pinecones when it is not holding food. It is dishwasher and microwave safe Italian serveware, handmade and built for real use, and it comes out of storage every December as part of the family's Christmas.
