Garden: Alta's Favorite Tuscan Grill
Back in stock. New shipment from Italy has arrived!
Are you the Grill Master at your home? Looking to expand your tools for grilling? Famed chef Alice Waters collaborated on this portable grill, perfect for your indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
Handcrafted by Tuscan artisan metal-smiths, the compact size is perfect for portability. Sturdy metal construction. Angled grill so that drippings fall into the drip-pan, not into the flames. Ideal for cooking outdoors, at the beach, or in the fireplace, the grill folds flat for easy transport.
PLEASE NOTE: The manufacturer of the grill utilizes 2 settings for placement of the grill, instead of the original 3 positions featured in Alice's design.
Dimensions: 18.5 inches wide; 16 inches deep; 17 inches tall
Home: Stainless Steel Kettle by Sori Yanagi
A beautiful, yet highly functional object, the iconic stainless steel kettle by Sori Yanagi, was designed in 1953. Some components are made by hand, and others are mass manufactured.
The wide base ensures that the water can be heated quickly, while the ergonomic handles are specially shaped to make the kettle easy to lift and to hold firmly. The oversized lid makes cleaning the interior and spout fast and easy. Even though millions of Japanese homes already contain at least one of these kettles, over half a million new ones are still sold in Japan every year.
Imported from Japan. 7.5 inches W X 9.6" D x 8.1" H
Stainless Steel, Volume 85.4 fl oz, Dishwasher safe

A beautifully crafted vintage birdcage. We have not seen a birdcage this cool before!
