ARTE ITALICA

Arte Italica was created in 1997 by Ann Skidmore who was fascinated by Italian art, culture and design.  Ann started Arte Italica by importing Italian pewter.  In 1999, Arte Italica became the first to combine pewter and ceramic into dinnerware.  Continuing the tradition of introducing innovative products, Arte Italica recently became the first to introduce glass and pewter dinnerware and accessories.  Pewter which is the fourth most precious metal in existence, is comprised of tin and antimony and copper to give it strength. Arte Italica pewter is molded, then buffed and assembled by hand.  Each piece is then tumbled, enabling the characteristics of aged metal.  Arte Italica captures the essence of European style in each of its collections.  Arte Italica tableware is handcrafted in Europe using techniques passed down through generations of skilled artisans.  Yvonne Estelle's stocks a large selection of Arte Italica products; while, others are available by special order.  As always, we offer Complimentary Shipping on Arte Italica orders over $150.  Made in Italy.
