Our Giulietta Collection, light, beautiful and romantic is the result of truly extraordinary artistry. The design is applied to the ceramic by hand, fired and then hand painted with a sponge before being fired a second time. Little wonder it is so fair! Offered in both blue and gray. Hand made in Tuscany. 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.
