Buon Ricordo plates were commissioned by individual Italian restaurants and given to guests who ordered the house signature dish — the meal went home as a plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one celebrates \u003cem\u003eanara in salsa de ua Prosecco\u003c\/em\u003e — duck in a sauce of Prosecco grapes, cooked in the heart of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills where the wine is made. The painter drew the duck in a single sweeping ochre line, head turned back toward a heavy bunch of golden grapes on the vine, the whole design set on a warm tan ground. The dates 1964 and 1984 flank the center, marking the restaurant's twentieth year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Buon Ricordo plate is painted by hand and carries the individuality of the artisan. Collectors group them by region, by city, or by dish.

Every plate names a real restaurant, a real town, and a real recipe. They were never sold in shops, which is why collectors seek them out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat dish is on this plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e Anara in salsa de ua Prosecco — Venetian dialect for duck in a sauce made from Prosecco grapes. Conegliano sits at the eastern end of the Prosecco hills, so the wine and the grapes are local to the restaurant's own doorstep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs each Buon Ricordo plate different?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Every restaurant in the collection has its own plate, its own dish, and its own artwork. No two designs repeat. Collectors often build sets by region — all the Veneto plates, all the Sicilian plates — or by the kind of food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this plate for food, or is it for display?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is best treated as a display or collector's piece. Hand-wash only, and keep it out of the dishwasher, microwave, and oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good gift for a wine lover?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — it is a Prosecco plate in the most literal sense, painted for a restaurant in the hills where the wine is grown. Good for a wine room, a cellar door, or anyone who has toured the Valdobbiadene road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good Italian wedding gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, particularly for a couple with a connection to Treviso or the Prosecco hills. A Buon Ricordo plate carries a specific place and a specific meal, which makes it more personal than a generic dinnerware gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good housewarming or hostess gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is. It hangs on a kitchen or dining room wall, it starts a conversation, and it does not duplicate anything the host already owns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy Italian gifts from Biordi rather than other retailers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Biordi Art Imports has been San Francisco's source for authentic Italian ceramics since 1946 — voted Best Overall Retailer in the SF Bay Guardian Best of the Bay reader's poll five consecutive years, and designated San Francisco Legacy Business #LBR-2020-21-029. The City of San Francisco declared May 1 \"Biordi Art Imports Day\" in 2021.

Questions? Call (415) 392-8096 or email customerservice@biordi.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be customized or personalized?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Buon Ricordo plates were painted for a specific restaurant and a specific dish and cannot be altered or reordered. For customized pieces, Eugenio Ricciarelli, FIMA, Pia Formato, and Geribi accept special orders — a name, date, or occasion painted on the piece, or a different size or shape in the workshop's existing pattern. Lead time is typically 3–6 months because each piece is hand-painted to order in Italy.

The plates were never for sale. You had to eat the dish to earn one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat resulted is an unusual kind of archive. Hundreds of plates, each naming a restaurant, a town, and a recipe — Sardinian sea bass, Venetian cuttlefish, Ferrarese sausage, Roman lamb. Read together, they map Italian regional cooking restaurant by restaurant, in the hand of whoever painted them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVietri sul Mare and the Solimene workshop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany Buon Ricordo plates were painted in Vietri sul Mare, on the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, where ceramics have been made for five centuries. The best-known workshop there is Ceramiche Solimene, founded in the mid-20th century by Vincenzo Solimene and housed in a building designed by Paolo Soleri — its exterior clad in colored tile shards, as vivid as the work made inside. Vietri painters are known for bold color, loose confident line, and a sense of humor, all of which show in the Buon Ricordo plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiordi Art Imports has brought Italian ceramics to San Francisco since 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buon Ricordo","offers":[{"title":"9\"","offer_id":46007700357173,"sku":"6724","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/9802\/files\/Piatto071.jpg?v=1789617295","url":"https:\/\/biordi.com\/products\/hand-painted-buon-ricordo-italian-plate-conegliano-tre-panoce-anara-in-salsa-de-ua-prosecco","provider":"Biordi Art Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
