Skilled Italian artisans, using mouth-blown glass and 24 karat gold, meticulously handcraft Arte Italica’s popular Vetro Gold Collection. The lacy golden border is first intricately etched, then hand-painted with the gold. Vetro Gold sets an especially dramatic table. Handmade in Italy. Four-piece settings include charger, dinner plate, salad/dessert plate, and pasta/soup bowl. Founded in 1997 by Ann Skidmore, Arte Italica is a story of one woman's passion for Italian history, culture, art, and vintage pewter. Today, Arte Italica is one of the leading importers of European tabletop and home accessories products in the United States. Every piece is handmade and designed so that they can easily be mixed and matched to create a timeless, classic, and effortless look.
