"These dishes are so gorgeous and they just happen to match my Temptations yellow polka dot dishes, so I can mix and match with a little whimsy. They are beautifully crafted. I feel like I am in Italy when I set the table with them."

Magnificent!! - Posted by Ladyliberty 04-11-12

"I received this today in both the Sicily and the Tuscany patterns. I ordered one of each to use for serving bowls. They are both equally beautiful and very well made. The handpainting and glazing are done perfectly. I am so in love with the lemon pattern, that I am going to exchange the Tuscany for another lemon piece even though the Tuscany is beautiful and well made in its own right too. Guess I'm just a fruity person!! Great job Q on bringing in some high quality stoneware."

Now this is a pasta bowl - Posted by ToriD 04-11-12

Overall Rating
"My mother and aunts had pasta bowls and platters from Italy. I have been looking for a real Italian pasta bowl for years. Not those shallow ones that we find in the U. S. that are made in China but a real pasta bowl. Well, this arrived and I am so pleased with this shape and size. You can easily toss one pound of pasta in this bowl without having the pasta up to the lip of the bowl, the pasta doesn't swim in the sauce because of the shape. It is also a beautiful piece to put on your table. Glad I purchased this and the matching pasta bowls. Hope to see more serving pasta bowls in different shapes. I would love a nice large oval, slightly deep, pasta platter for serving ravioli and meats that are in the sauce. Please add more to this line."

Love This Design Doris!!! - Posted by QVClover 04-09-12

"Congrats on this line Doris. I received two pasta bowls and two plates today and I am so pleased:) Will be ordering more for sure. I am very impressed with the beautiful lemon designs in the Sicily pattern which is my favorite. It is really wonderful to receive items of this quality delivered to my door in perfect condition and packaged so well. I also like looking on the back of the items and seeing made in Italy versus made in that other country that starts with a C. It somehow makes me feel really special to see Italy. I hope that you will be making more coordinating items. I would love to have a 2 quart covered bowl and canisters would be great! Thanks again for beautiful dinnerware."

Pietra Italia: Handmade Carafe

Absolutely beautiful! - Posted by Eleanor55 04-13-12

Overall Rating
"I bought this carafe in the Sicily design (lemons). It is beautiful! A little heavier than what I thought it would be so defintely not a cheap, flimsy product. There may be cheaper reproductions out there but this is not only a functional piece but also an individual work of art. The background is somewhat muted so it basically would go with any kitchen design and you wouldn't be overwhelmed by it if you did not like yellow. It comes well packaged in foam with warranty information. I immediately unpacked it when it arrived & put flowers in it. It is just beautiful & exactly what I wanted & hoped for. Thank you Doris & QVC!"

Unbelievable!!! - Posted by blazer45 04-13-12

Overall Rating
"I have been a customer since the CVN days and I have NEVER written a review - good or bad. I had to write to let everyone know the quality of this product. The moment I saw it on air I ordered service for 8 and all the serving/baking pieces. I have been wanting an Italian pattern called Vecchia Deruta for years. It is so very expensive I could not justify buying it. I bought one dessert plate for $79 and knew it would be the only piece I'd ever have. WOW - then I saw this Venice pattern which is almost identical. It arrived today and all I can say is - bring more!!!!! If you're sitting on the fence regarding these Italian handmade dishes - get off the fence and place your order."

Pietra Italia: Handmade Spoon Rest

Too Nice to Put a Spoon On!! - Posted by Ladyliberty 04-14-12

Overall Rating
"I bought this in the Sicily pattern and it is just gorgeous. Besides being beautifully done, the best thing about it is that it is HUGE!!! Finally, something to put those huge ladles and spoons on, even though I think it's too pretty to make dirty. Just kidding; I will use it and I will keep it right near the cooktop. QVC, and Doris, you did a great job with this product."
