Every piece comes from a named Italian artisan or heritage house we work with directly — FIMA, CF Deruta, Pia Formato, Eugenio Ricciarelli, Susanna DeSimone (from the famous Palermo ceramic family — her father painted with Picasso), Geribi, Bucci Ceramiche, Ortigia Sicilia, Italesse, and Salviati. So each piece is genuinely one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be customized or personalized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — personalization is the defining feature of this ornament. Eugenio Ricciarelli, FIMA, Pia Formato, Geribi, and CF Deruta also accept special orders on other pieces — 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.

Pia is a master glazer known for her grand technical grasp, innovative designs, and uncommonly vibrant colors. She began over twenty years ago with her interpretation of Eugenio Ricciarelli's geometric patterns. What has now become known as \u003cstrong\u003e\"Pia's Red\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a vibrant red that results from a great deal of professional glazing skill. Her larger pieces are produced one at a time — true Pia Formato originals, hand-painted in her Deruta studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PIA","offers":[{"title":"3\"","offer_id":45714875088949,"sku":"6682","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/9802\/files\/0880351A-095D-45F3-BADE-DD804F5BF121_7e72c3fd-aff3-4508-a034-927c066ba174.png?v=1783477638","url":"https:\/\/biordi.com\/products\/personalized-ornament-pias-blue-gold-copy","provider":"Biordi Art Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
