Caleca Italian Hand-Painted Dinnerware
Caleca manufactured quality ceramic products for more than 200 years. Caleca Italia developed a low porosity, extra strong, but lighter ceramic body comparable to stoneware, vitreous and porcelain, rendering the Caleca products highly resistant to chipping with prolonged usage. Born from an antique tradition of over two-hundred years, and created by artists of diversified nationalities, the Caleca dinnerware collections are the fruit of a perfect fusion of tradition, good taste and technology.
Each piece was manufactured in Italy from a unique red clay found only in the region of the original Caleca factory. The pieces were then hand painted by skilled artisans. The special manufacturing process and high firing temperatures created dinnerware that was much more durable than typical European earthenware. Each piece received a stamp ensuring its authenticity. With or without the official seal, the brightly saturated colors and whimsically fresh patterns are instantly recognizable as Caleca designs.
All pieces of Caleca dinnerware are dishwasher and microwave safe, lead and cadmium free, and oven safe to 400°F.
- Hand-painted in Italy: casual, bright, festive.
- Heavy, chip-resistant stoneware.
- Dishwasher-safe for easy clean-up.
Caleca announced in June 2014 that the company had suspended production. Subsequently the down company website was taken down, and sadly it is therefore assumed that production will not restart.
