ARTISAN STORY
Artisan FIMA created these pieces. This pattern from Biordi Art Imports is one of Italy’s oldest dinnerware designs; “il Buon Gallo,” of the Good Rooster, is known to bring good luck and prosperity to the home that keeps it!  This style originated during the 13th century in Orvieto, a quaint and magical town on top of a volcanic plateau in Italy. In the Renaissance, Orvieto ceramics and Maiolica were often associated with green colorations. less
