By inverting the rim, the Bavero dishware was born. The perfectly round handles on the Bavero cups and teapot lid add to circular theme defined by the rims. For the modern home, when selecting a formal dinnerware, it is not tradition floral patterns but a simple elegant detail that one thinks of. This is why a platinum band on the Filetto is so becoming.
