New Products
Greetings from the warehouse of Ceramica. Our latest container has arrived and we have brought several new items to our stores. Featured here is a selection of pieces by the brilliant artisan Patrizio Chiucchiu as well as some new samples from other suppliers. Remember, the possibilities are endless but the quantities are limited!
The sprightly rooster on this piece faces the day on a sun bright yellow background as he seems to pace across a checkerboard ground. The wide border features a finely detailed version of the popular golden scale pattern. The 8 inch diameter disk has a wide central bowl shape and the 'squame gialle' pattern extends up and over the narrow rim to a final delicately etched edge design on a blue ground, which repeats the decorative edge to the central rooster pattern. Because of this artisan's meticulous faithfulness to the rich palette of traditional Italian maiolica, we recommend this piece for decorative use only.

This elegant 8-inch diameter disk features a rich series of variations on yellow and blue scale designs. The gentle curve of the 'Priest Hat' bowl design conforms perfectly to the play of varying colors which shift from blue to gold while keeping a rich ruby heart. The central bold motif of a four-leaved medallion recalls both heraldic emblems as well as the traditional blue buds of Montelupo in Tuscany. As with all pieces from this artisan, we recommend decorative use only. The disk is easy to hang. To inquire about this item click here and Talk To Us or call the store nearest you.

Here, the band of yellow scales (squame gialle) fills in the curved sides of this shallow 6-inch diameter bowl form. Two decorative bands, one a 'sgraffito' of white curls on blue, the other a classical egg and dart design, surround the bright yellow center. At the heart of the piece is an 'amatory cup', a delicately painted tribute to one's beloved, with its scroll handles and a curling bower of curved branches encircling the central portrait bust. We recommend this piece for decorative use only. To inquire about this item click here and Talk To Us or call the store nearest you. Be sure to mention article code CVASDK16, $295.00.

The peacock feather design is one of this artisan's specialties and the refinement of his color sense and the delicacy of his hand reflect his many years of dedication to the art of maiolica. On this wide 12-inch diameter disk, the perfection of the penne pavone pattern continues from the broad eyes right down to the almost infinitessimal detail of the most minute central band. This unusual piece features a rich red color which entrances the eye as it contrasts to the gold and green tones with which it is paired. We recommend this piece for decorative use only, it is easy to hang. To inquire about this item click here and Talk To Us or call the store nearest you.
