Florentine Thank You Cards — Rossi 1931

A boxed set of thank you cards from Rossi 1931, the family papermaker in Florence, Italy. Each cream card carries a classic Florentine corner ornament of scrolling leaves and flowers in red, gold, blue and green, with "thank you" set in an elegant script. Matching cream envelopes are included.

Yes. A box of Florentine thank you cards, made in Florence, is an easy Italian Christmas gift and stocking stuffer, and it gets used for post-holiday thank-you notes. Order by December 15, 2026 for ground shipping in time for Christmas, or add Florentine gift wrap at checkout and we'll send it ready to give.

Is this a good Italian wedding gift?
It's a thoughtful add-on rather than a main wedding gift. Pair it with a hand-painted Deruta serving piece so the couple has cards for their thank-you notes. For an heirloom gift, Biordi's Classic Deruta and Murano glass are the better choice.

Is this a good housewarming or hostess gift?
Yes. It's small, beautiful and useful, and the gift box means it's ready to hand over.

Florentine paper — Decorated paper has been made in Florence since the Middle Ages. The patterns Rossi prints today date to the 15th and 16th centuries, first used to bind books and line boxes.

Rossi 1931, Florence — Antonio Rossi founded the company in Florence in 1931, and his grandchildren run it today. It began making fine Florentine stationery, popular with the British and American families living in Florence, and still makes every piece in Italy using traditional printing methods.

Italian ceramics are heirloom quality products, and can last lifetime with proper care. We have some suggestions that will preserve your majolica for years to come.

Majolica is dishwasher safe, but many people choose to hand wash their pieces as a precaution. Because majolica is a porous material, some pieces are not meant to hold liquid for a long period of time. Check for warning labels before ordering a product, as the pieces that are most notorious for "sweating" are appropriately labeled.

Majolica is sensitive to extreme temperatures, specifically boiling or freezing liquids. Pouring water with a rolling boil directly into a teapot, for example, may lead to breakage. To avoid this, temper the object. The industry standard is 620 degrees Celsius (1,148 degrees Fahrenheit). Quench the glass to cool it.

Crazing is common in well used majolica. The tiny cracks in the glaze do not affect the functionality of your majolica.

Majolica hand-crafted products should not be microwaved, as it may crack and/or break the ceramics.
