"In rice living we go a long way to making you feel home – in a home with a personal touch. This ceramic series is no exception. We’ve called this gorgeous series “Hand-painted” because it’s handmade and hand-painted by amazing women in Portugal. Operated by women, this company handles every aspect of production — from painting to firing to packing — ensuring a truly artisanal touch in every creation. It takes special talent and workmanship to hand-paint ceramics, and it's an ancient craft that is slowly fading away. Not many people learn it anymore, and it's difficult to find employees who possess that skill. The process can be intricated."
