Lettering’ collection from Bitossi Home

A single plate or mug can express the personality of its owner or its recipient, but lots of them together give the opportunity to create personalised table settings for each of the guests, or to spread gleaming messages of optimism. The Lettering collection from Bitossi Home consists of items with a gold letter decorated on white porcelain – a great gift for the one who has ‘everything’.
