Decorative Elements of Old World Style
Tuscany, a province in the northwest region of Italy is world-renowned for its Sangiovese grapes that produce Chianti Classico wine, one of the most popular vintages in the world. The region is also renowned for its natural beauty - rolling hillsides dotted with pencil thin cypress, deep green olive trees, grapes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and all the wonderful ingredients of traditional Tuscan cooking. The natural beauty of the region is only enhanced by its sunny stucco villas crowned with rich red-tile roofs. From Florence to Sienna, Pisa to Assisi, Tuscany equals quintessential Italian style. Capturing this romantic look has become a favorite decorative pastime of homeowners everywhere and there are certain decorative elements that should always be included to lend an air of authenticity if you wish to adopt Old-World style.
Embrace antiqued patinas
Terra-cotta roof tiles and sun-bleached stucco are the very definition of Tuscan style. Weathered woods and old wrought iron are other favored materials. While you may not be able to clad your home's exterior in stucco or terra-cotta roofing tiles, copy the look to your interiors with aged porcelain and Ceramic Tiles on floors and backsplashes. Tiled murals in the kitchen or bath are excellent ways to add a touch of Tuscany, as are distinctive pieces of wrought iron Wall Art or Canvas Art depicting the Tuscan countryside.
Aim for a relaxed, unpretentious ambience
Warm inviting tones should be used for walls, fabrics and furniture. Classic Tuscan choices include burgundy red, eggplant purple, deep brown, ochre and sunflower yellow and shades of green that range from olive to deep evergreen. Repeat these colors in rustic patterns in tapestries, pillows, fabrics and upholsteries.
Rustic wood furniture that proudly displays nicks and dings, exposed beams, unfinished stucco walls, aged shutters, aged copper pots and simple Ceramic Pottery and pitchers holding bunches of sunflowers are simple ways to add Tuscan style. Leave window unadorned or choose simple canvas or lace panels that add softness without intruding on the unpretentious ambiance. Color washing techniques can impart the look of stucco on the walls. Flooring is simple as well, with weathered planking or Ceramic Tile adding carefree style. Patterned area rugs with Tuscan or classic motifs add a layer of comfort in bedrooms and living areas.
In the kitchen, choose colored concrete, marble or granite for countertops. Open or free-standing armoires lend an antiquated look and lots of extra storage. A long wooden-table surround by rush-seat chairs offers a place for impromptu and everyday casual dining and accent with earthenware dishes and serving pieces in red, yellow, green and blue. Provide detailing with copper pots hung from racks, wine racks loaded with Italian reds and whites, glass jars full of pickled olives, dried pasta and olive oil, pitchers of fresh flowers and tiered platters and bowls of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Don't let your Tuscan style stop at the door. Graceful gardens, bubbling fountains, stone walkways and driveways, wrought iron gates, overflowing flower boxes and a vegetable patch full or ripe tomatoes and cheerful sunflowers will make your home authentically Tuscan both inside and out.

Pottery $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Pottery is the ceramic ware made by potters. Major types of pottery include earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain. The places where such wares are made are called potteries. Pottery is one of the oldest human technologies and artforms, and remains a major industry today. Ceramic art covers the art of pottery, whether in items made for use or purely for decoration. Pottery is made by forming a clay body into objects of a required shape and heating them to high temperatures in a kiln to induce reactions that lead to permanent changes, including increasing their strength and hardening and setting their shape. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

The Art of Contemporary American Pottery $34.95 Beauty will always reside in the eye of the beholder, but what about the fine line between beauty and functionality? Can a purely utilitarian form, such as a simple pot, vase, or plate, truly be considered a great work of art? In The Art of Contemporary American Pottery, author Kevin A Hluch takes up the challenge of addressing this debate. Hluch, who examines pottery from a unique perspective as historian, scholar and connoisseur, finds as much meaning and nobility in a thoughtfully crafted clay vessel as he does in a masterpiece painting. There are many reasons why a good pot is a good pot. Some reasons are obvious. Some are subtle. Some only reveal themselves when you know how to look. With the help of more than 200 beautiful color photos featuring the world of the country's best utilitarian potters, and a lengthy list of artists and galleries, Hluch does more than just talk about how great pottery is made. He talks about what makes great pottery. |

Iznik Pottery $19.94 Some of the greatest glories of Ottoman art are the luxurious ceramic vessels and splendid tiles made to decorate newly founded mosques and palaces by the Turkish pottery at Iznik (ancient Nicaea). Their designs combine purely Turkish motifs with elements ingeniously transposed from imported Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. Over time a more subtle painterly style and complex palette were developed, culminating in the brilliant combination of cobalt blue, turquoise, olive green, magenta, and red that became the internationally recognized Iznik hallmark. Iznik ceramics were highly prized far beyond the Ottoman Empire, and although the factories had passed their peak by the late seventeenth century, their influence lived on through nineteenth-century European imitations by such potters as William de Morgan and Cantagalli. |

Authors, collectors, and dealers Carol and Allen Hayes provide readers with a concise overview of the pottery of the southwest, from its origins in the Bastketmaker period (around 400 AD) to the Spanish entrada (1540 AD-1879 AD) to today's new masters. Readers will find dozens of color images depicting pottery from the Zuni, Hopi, Anasazi, and many other peoples. Maps help readers identify where these master potters and their peoples lived (i.e. the Pueblo - a tribal group or area). Pottery of the Southwest will serve as a useful introduction as well as a lovely guide for enthusiasts. |

Handbook of Mediterranean Roman Pottery $19.7 This handbook is an introduction to the pottery most commonly made and used in the Roman Mediterranean region from the first century B.C. to the sixth century A.D. In the past, Roman pottery has been judged inferior to Greek pottery. Recent excavations, however, have led to an increase in knowledge and appreciation of Roman wares. These wares now constitute an important body of evidence for the understanding of art, literacy, and industry in the ancient world. John W. Hayes, the acknowledged authority in this field, draws on the most up-to-date information to explain the features that mark Roman-period pottery, showing how the vessels were manufactured, decorated, traded, and used. Placing the pottery in historical context, he describes its roots in the Greek tradition, its evolution as a distinct art form, and its influence on Byzantine and Islamic trends. Handbook of Mediterranean Roman Pottery is copiously illustrated with the author's own drawings and with photographs showing pieces never before published. An identification guide that synthesizes a vast amount of information, this volume is an invaluable resource for amateurs, students, and collectors. |
