		<description>I was searching through Google doing research for a blog 

article, when I found this blog, and while not what I was 

exactly looking for I found it very informative and 

interesting! I felt it expresses the car, detail and passion put into making hand made dinnerware. A very enjoyable read!

Thnks

		<description>Both this article and “What are the most popular Italian Dinnerware patterns?” are important learning tools and the owners of Thatsarte are making important contributions to the understanding and the appreciation of handmade products from Italy. You, as a consumer, are making an equally important contribution. Whether or not you realize it you are not merely purchasing plates, cups, saucers and serving pieces that will enhance your dining experience. You are patrons of the art. You are the new generation that allows these artists to continue centuries old traditions. Your appreciation of art and craftsmanship in an age of disposable mass production makes you special and important. The world would have never known the names of DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Donatello or Raphael, if not for such patrons as Medici, Sforza, and the royal families of Europe. Today, you are the artist's patrons. It is people like yourself that allow such beauty to continue to exist in this modern world. 
So, while you may sometimes view yourself as merely another consumer you must stop and realize that you are much more. You are the guardians of tradition and art. You are the protectors of the continuation of art and beauty that otherwise could be lost to the world. The generations that follow will someday thank you for your fine taste, insight and artistic appreciation. As a collector I am merely proud to count myself as one among you.
