Notes to self- pictures of my italian serving ware

[raffaellasworld]

I've been meaning to inventory these for a while, and I finally got around to it. I figured I would post them here so I'll be able to find it later even if something should happen to my computer.
Here are most of the platters (I missed one little raffaellesco one in this shot):                                                                                                         Here are the assorted serving ware, first the raffaellesco:                                                                                                                             Then the other, I believe it's rocco, but there are a couple of similar styles: 
                                                                                                Here are the bowls, half of which are raffaellesco, the other half assorted styles:                                                                                                             Finally a couple of pitchers and big serving bowls:

I could never get caught up in drugs, not only would my health not stand for it, I couldn't imagine chooseing that instead of spending my money on Italian pottery and reseach books. :)

I still think you need a couple of the big jars we saw in Florence.

[ayeshadream.livejournal.com]

I found a place that carries them, but they want waaaaaaay too much money.

If P3H's import business takes off to the point where it's cheaper to go there than ship it she may be making business trips to Florence regularly.

It may take a while though, but she's now a US distributer for that fragrence store, and she's working on the place that makes the reproduction jewlery. :)

Your Italian dishes are gorgeous!! There's a place in Poulsbo that sells just Italian dishes but I think they're expensive.

BTW, I posted a photo of your completed Tabletop banner earlier in the day - Title is Tabletop Banners if you missed it...

[ayeshadream.livejournal.com]

I'll have to come check out the store in Poulsbo some time and see what they've got. :)

I LOVE IT!!!! The table banner looks awesome! Are you sure you're charging enough? Let me know if you'd like some more as I'd imagine this is really thread intensive not to mention your time, creativity and labor.

[centaur11.livejournal.com]

No, I'm probably not charging enough (one of the problems I have with determining the value of my time and supplies) so in the future, I'll be asking more. But since I quoted you a price, I'm happy to honor that. I gladly take tips, though... hehe

Holy cow, are those real or knockoffs? cause wow...

[ayeshadream.livejournal.com]

I'll take a picture of the bottom for you. Some are definately better quality than others- I think some of them are seconds, but some of them are the same as I've seen in city kitchens for waaaaaaaay more.

The bowls for example, I've been able to find for under $10. The large serving bowls? Those are anywhere from $17-$30. I've been snapping them up as much as I can because I don't know how long I'll be able to get them at this price.
