…but of the beautiful kind! Did you know that the “Green Rooster of Orvieto”, created in the 13th-century, is one of the oldest Majolica ceramics (Italian tin-glazed pottery) dinnerware designs in Italy? Some of my favorite local pottery-masters include L’arpia Ceramiche, Ceramiche Fusari and Ceramiche Giacomini. Oh, I haven’t forgotten famed artist Marino Moretti. On the lighter side – La Brocca di Gallo is the wine/water pitcher everyone needs for their table!

Orvieto or Bust: 
I love Marino Moretti’s whimsical work! We have several of his pieces at home in Ohio, coasters all over the villa here, and (don’t tell my husband) I’m taking home 8 coasters for my husband’s birthday gift. I agree – Marino is one of Orvieto’s best!
Karen, Your secret’s safe with me…I hope he doesn’t read this blog. LOL. Hugs and see you next trip. toni
