Geribi paints it in 12 color combinations, each with its own design number, so a table can be built in one color or mixed across several.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeribi: Deruta, Umbria.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ribigini family has been producing majolica in Deruta for many generations. Gerardo's father organized a group of artists and built a factory for 200 workers. Gerardo began his apprenticeship at 15 and started his own business at 20. Today Gerardo and his daughter, Claudia, hand-craft one of the most popular designs sold at Biordi: the peacock feather design. Geribi patterns are made by special order. Allow 3 to 6 months, as each piece is made for you and can be personalized with your name and\/or the occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERIBI","offers":[{"title":"7\" x 6\"","offer_id":41940097859637,"sku":"4667","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/9802\/products\/20221118_003615000_iOS.jpg?v=1668804438","url":"https:\/\/biordi.com\/products\/peacock-piggy-bank-blue-purple-medium","provider":"Biordi Art Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
