Every piece comes from a named Italian artisan, family workshop, 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. Not a stock-photo listing, not a mass-produced import, not a reproduction.\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.

In the 1970s he opened his own workshop, \"Ceramiche Favaroni Deruta,\" known for flowers, landscapes, and Castelli-style decoration. Salvatore's decorations were developed without the dusting (spolvero) technique, so each piece is similar but never identical. His son Carlo Favaroni now runs the family business, CF Deruta, bringing the classic decorations into contemporary colors and shapes. CF Deruta produces exceptional holiday décor for Biordi Art Imports.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CF Deruta","offers":[{"title":"3\"","offer_id":45708897648693,"sku":"6677","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/9802\/files\/75967BB4-D79E-431E-8415-3C8DB9D78643_1.png?v=1783403621","url":"https:\/\/biordi.com\/products\/personalized-ornament-tree-w-24-karat-gold-4548-copy","provider":"Biordi Art Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
