Tuscan Dinnerware

Tuscan dinnerware is actually from a style of décor originating in Tuscany, which is a region in central Italy. There are several designs used in this dinnerware that will bring a touch of culture to your kitchen and your table.

The economy of Tuscany is highly dependent on agriculture, tourism and fashion, as well as on industries like mining, glass and ceramics, textiles, marble, metalworking, and woodwork. All of this is reflected in Tuscan décor.

Tuscan style dinnerware makes up a small part of Italian dinnerware, which is extensive. It features Tuscan villa style architecture, agricultural products from the region's top crops, features of Tuscany cuisine, and of course, the Tuscan rooster.
