133 Piece Vintage Vietri Solimene Campagna Yellow Chicken Collection Plates Etc

  
For your consideration is an incredible set of 133 pieces of yellow, green, and orange Campagna chicken terracotta dinnerware and tableware by VIETRI. This is the collection of a lifelong collector, with pieces dating roughly over the past 30-40 years. From the famed Amalfi Coast, Campagna is the flagship dinnerware of Vietri, offering artistic entertaining with a colorful pattern that captures the vitality of the Italian countryside. This set features a charming yellow chicken design - a classic, and discontinued / difficult to find today!

This set is in excellent, gently used condition, with individual notes about the condition of each piece included section by section below. Overall, please do note that these pieces are handmade and there is some light natural variance in color, shape, and dimension from piece to piece, and that there might also be other imperfections not listed below due to the handmade nature - unevenness in the glazes, an occasional spot where the glaze was missed, a bump in the terra cotta, etc -- these are standard for this type of dinnerware. Please take a close look at the photos and reach out with any questions! Dinnerware (plates and bowls) - 54 pieces.

Additionally the interior has some staining from past use. 1 tall water pitcher, measuring 10" tall and 3.75" in diameter.

Not sure if these are just artifacts from the production process or if they are indicative of very minor damage. 2 round serving platters, each measuring 11.5 in diameter.

The second is in pristine condition, and the first shows some damage - a crack several inches long on one side, that has a few missing spots of glaze and might have been repaired in the past. 1 three-compartment tray measuring 11.5" long and 7.5" wide.

Had a dime-sized chip that is quite visible on one of the partitions. 1 small round serving dish measuring 3.25" tall and 3.75" in diameter.
