“Beautiful”

This tray is really beautiful. I am very happy with it, but I would caution buyers that the finish is not smooth and glossy, as I thought it would be. It?s more of a porous, Terra cotta feel. I say this because, in spite of its description as suitable for food, microwave safe and dishwasher safe, I can?t imagine doing any of those things. I suspect my daughter will use it more for a catch all tray on her bureau. It?s truly lovely.

“Not finished, no glaze”

This appears to be air dry clay. It is not food safe! Its porous. If you want a tray for hair ribbons or the like it should work out well. I was hoping to use it as serving dish for olives, cheeses, etc. its not glazed. The art work is as shown however its not described as non functional art work. If it had hanging loops as part of the design it would be a great piece to hang.

Porous!

“Vivid colors - High quality”

This flower pot is the perfect size for our Christmas cactus. Beautifully made. So glad I was able to find one here on Novica (the one we had before got broken by our silly cat). I will definitely look at more of Armandos work.

“Perfect little Mexican pot for cacti babies”

Every ceramic item that I have ordered from Novica comes so well packaged, it takes me awhile to excitedly get it unpacked. Never any breakage. Their shipping standards are exceptional.
