Arte Italica Sorrento Wall Decor Bowl

I am a certified porcelain restorer and this plate hurts my eye when I look at it. The gaps are too large to look naturally old and I've seen better home repairs with Elmers glue. This plate would only look good in a room that is classicly "Shabby Chic."

not exciting--or even that unusual.

Very pleased with this product. Looks great on my bedroom wall and compliments my Mediterranean bedspread. Colors are perfect for my room. I find the faux cracks and aged look interesting.

I purchased two bowls as wedding gifts and I returned both of them for credit. They looked cracked and defective. I've traveled all over Europe and was expecting a high quality item. It looks as if these bowls were actually cracked and put together with grout by the manufacturer to recoup some of the cost. This is not the simple crackling that you get from Europeon "aged-hand painted warmth" as described. These are huge cracks with 1/2 inch grout within the bowl. I never saw a bowl cracked to the degree this one was while in Italy for 3 weeks.

This is a beautiful work of art by and extremely respected, quality, and creative company.
