We lived and worked in the Veneto area in Italy and in Bassano del Grappa they make the world renowned:
Ceramiche d'Arte Orgia Bassano. Ceramics of Bassano del Grappa. For some English info just click the above hyperlink.
This is actually a Google photo from the shop where we bought our two white ceramic chandeliers! They did have several in the shop in yellow, pink and green, like the icing on a cake. But we wanted a plain white version of a three-arm and a five-arm. So they custom made it for us. Let's have a look at what we got there.
Our five-arm chandelier in the hallway.
All in white and with roses of course!
Nice with the rose filet crochet curtains...
Can you imagine that we moved it all the way from our home in Italy, across the Atlantic Ocean in one piece?
That means, nothing broken as it does consist of different pieces for building together...
Italians are quite some artists!
Our three-arm chandelier in the kitchen.
Roses against the rose filet crocheted curtains that I made for our bay window.
Horchow had one in their catalog in the 90s...
That made us even appreciate ours more so...
And, frankly speaking we like ours with the roses better too!
