Light does different things to a carved surface than to a painted one. The Lastra Holiday Figural Ornament is hand sculpted in relief by a maestro artisan in Tuscany, holly berries and foliage worked into Italian stoneware so the detail holds shadow from whatever angle it turns on the branch. Relief work like this belongs to the Tuscan ceramic tradition behind the whole collection: the glaze settles into the recesses the way a handmade finish does, which means no two come out quite alike, and the finish you choose changes the character of the piece entirely. It arrives in a protective clear ornament box, simple to give and simple to store for next year. Hang it on the tree, tie it to a package, or set it in a bowl of greenery above the table everyone lingers at long after the meal.
