The Alessi Bavero modern dinnerware is a white glazed porcelain dishware. Achille Castiglioni's took a simple white plate and redefined it by turning the rim downwards. By inverting the rim, the Bavero dishware was born. The perfectly round handles on the Bavero cups and teapot lid add to the circular theme defined by the rims. Alessi Bavero is dishwasher and microwave safe. Please call us 323.655.1908 if you need assistance picking out your modern dinnerware and ask about our sampling program.
