Introducing Arte Italica at Beadboard

I don't do to many "Shop Blogs"but recently we were able to acquire a beautiful line of Italian tabletop called Arte Italica. The reason I chose it is pictured above, a new line of white dinnerware with gray dressmaker details called Bella Bianca.

In addition to the scalloped dishes with ribbon like swirls there are coordinated pieces of Bella Bianca flatware above.

The stemware for the Bella Bianca is equally as beautiful shown on a hallmarked pewter tray.

This is another one of my favorites, ceramic mixed with hallmarked pewter beaded rims called Perlina....

The coordinating flatware. See the maker's marks to the lower right...

These are just four of the numerous choices of charger/platters offered from a swirled taupe glass called Splendore to a contemporary "croc" pattern...

The pewter looks more curvy and European, not like Colonial stylings of pewter, but more feminine and more detailed.

Part of the Tuscan collection, clean lines... I wouldn't mind having my mornings start like this.......

There are also beautiful accoutrements to adorn your holiday table. I just love the candlelabra.

AND FINALLY, A COMPANY THAT MAKES DECENT SIZE TRAYS THAT ARE GORGEOUS!

We are thrilled to be able to offer Arte to our customers, it will mix in with so much of what people already have. It is all there, highly stylized, glass, ceramics, barware, pewter, flatware, and stemware. AND, for xmas, beautifully boxed gifts in chocolate linen-like gift boxes. To see more of Arte Italica go here.

OOPS! Almost forgot I love this LINO (Italian for Linen) like the Perlina but they actually took linen fabric and pressed it into the bisque creating a linen pattern on the plate......Who needs bone china anymore????And I'm sorry but this coffee mug is sexy.....
