Ever kick yourself for not, er, picking up a souvenir from that restaurant on your last trip?  Now you can do it legally with Vietri’s Metro Dinnerware:

This taupe plate brings back memories of The Big Apple, but there’s also London, Paris, Milan, Rome, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, San Lorenzo, Cortona, Seattle, and Oslo (yes Oslo!), all thanks to the worldly travels of Susan Gravely, the founder of Vietri.

Perfect for the traveler in your life, these are sweet reminders of all those places you’ve visited (or are dying to see).  And since they’re made by Vietri, each piece is handmade in Tuscany of Italian stoneware and is microwave, oven, freezer and dishwasher safe.

What has made Herend’s figurines some of the most beloved and precious collectibles in the world for over fifty years?

It must partly be how cute they look, like these owls:

Or this magical bunny:

Or even this kitten caught in the moment of mischief:

And who will kiss this lucky frog?

Look closely, and you’ll see some of the special touches that make Herend figurines unique:  the pearl-like porcelain, the fishnet pattern (originally created in 1858 to imitate the feathers on a rooster), and the delicate 24 kt gold detailing.

And of course, because every piece is hand painted by an artist who has trained for at least three years before they are qualified, the subtle variations make them charming and completely unique.  Here is one of them at work on a special edition Fireworks Dragon:

Did you know that each Herend figurine can take an artist up to 16 hours to paint by hand.  How long would it take you?
