Bring the timeless warmth of the Mediterranean into your home or patio with our exquisite Italian hand-painted ceramic glazed round volcanic stone table - Sanremo Rosa design. Meticulously handcrafted by master artisans, this highly durable functional work of art merges authentic geological longevity with traditional Italian ceramic glazing techniques. Every tabletop is finished with rich mineral pigments and vitrified in artisan kilns at temperatures around 1000°C (2000°F). This meticulous process develops a remarkably frost resistant, heat resistant, and UV resistantjewel-like surface that captures the emotional beauty of Italian heritage while remaining beautifully suited for both upscale indoor dining spaces and high-exposure outdoor landscapes.

During the cooling phase in the kiln, our patterned volcanic tables naturally develop a captivating, deep craquelé (crackle) visual texture beneath the smooth glass coat, ensuring your Sanremo Rosa table remains an entirely unique, one-of-a-kind heirloom piece.

The Artistry: A Romantic Coastal Rose Garland

The Sanremo Rosa design is an exquisite tribute to the Riviera dei Fiori (the Coast of Flowers), celebrating the romance, elegance, and poetic beauty of traditional Italian botanical gardens. Honoring the luxury of open space, the center of the tabletop reveals a sprawling, flawless field of luminous ivory-cream. This minimalist core serves as a brilliant showcase for the organic, webbed character of our signature craquelé glaze, allowing light to bounce beautifully across its crystalline surface.

Framing this open center are two grand, asymmetrical cascading crescent wreaths of lush Mediterranean roses. Master artisans demonstrate extraordinary brushwork, capturing the roses in multiple lifecycle stages—from tightly coiled, promising buds to glorious, fully opened blossoms. The palette is a striking display of fiery orange, sunny yellow, and deep coral-red petals, all meticulously shaded to create lifelike three-dimensional depth. Woven together by winding woody branches and multi-toned olive and sage-green foliage, the entire perimeter is pinned by a crisp, slender golden-ochre rim. This graceful composition infuses a sense of aristocratic villa elegance into any fine dining room or sun-drenched terrace layout.

Understanding Our Volcanic & Lava Stone Foundations

We tailor our natural stone bases to complement the visual style of your chosen design, balancing raw earth elements with refined finishes:

  • Artistic Glazed Volcanic Stone: Used as the premier foundation for our hand-painted collections, such as the Umbria Raccolto design. The subtle natural structure of this volcanic stone creates a powerful bond with the mineral glazes, yielding the signature depth and artistic crackle effect that characterizes authentic Italian majolica art.

  • Sleek Basaltic Lava Stone: Ideally suited for clean, minimalist, and solid non-patterned color concepts. Sourced from dense basaltic flows, this lava option offers an ultra-smooth, uniform surface with minimal micro-crackle effects, perfect for contemporary spaces.

Versatile Elegance for Any Setting

  • Outdoor Landscapes: An elegant centerpiece for sun-drenched patios, European-style gardens, and open-air terraces, gracefully weathering the changing seasons.

  • Indoor Masterpieces: A sophisticated addition to upscale dining rooms, sunrooms, or welcoming breakfast nooks.

  • Boutique Settings: Ideal for luxury commercial lounges, fine-dining bistros, and cafes seeking a memorable accent piece.

Premium Material Benefits

  • ✔ Outstanding Durability: Built to endure for generations, offering exceptional longevity as a timeless home investment.

  • ✔ Advanced UV & Heat Resistance: The vibrant hand-painted colors are highly UV stable against solar fading, and the surface easily resists thermal shock from hot cookware or intense summer sun.

  • ✔ Frost & Climate Resilience: Fully frost resistant, the vitrified core prevents water absorption, allowing the table to remain outdoors through freezing sub-zero winters without cracking.

  • ✔ Effortless Maintenance: The non-porous glazed surface provides excellent stain resistance against coffee, wine, and citric acids, requiring only a simple wipe with mild soap.

Tailored to Your Space & Custom Specification

Every luxury property possesses its own architectural scale and layout rhythm. To provide total creative freedom for homeowners and interior designers, our collection is fully customizable for design, shape, size, or thickness:

  • Custom Thickness Options: While our stone tops are frequently crafted in a substantial, commanding presence, we easily accommodate customizable thicknesses (such as 2cm, 3cm, or 4cm) to suit your specific structural or aesthetic requirements.

  • Flexible Base Compatibility: You have the complete freedom to purchase our creations as tabletops only to pair with your own custom heirloom framework, or choose from our standard bases. Our selection includes elegant, classically crafted wrought iron bases that perfectly elevate the Mediterranean patio aesthetic. For bespoke installations, the under-slab can be meticulously prepped with structural inserts for straightforward, secure mounting.

Pro Premium Care Tip for Winter

While our volcanic stone tables are structurally immune to extreme winter freezes and do not require indoor storage, we highly recommend using a simple, breathable furniture cover if the table is left unused during long winter months. This is not for structural protection, but rather a practical step to keep the brilliant, glossy glaze shielded from falling leaves, dirt, and heavy sap—ensuring your table is pristine, sparkling, and ready for spring dining without any intense scrubbing.

Packaging & Worldwide Delivery

  • Made to Order: Our traditional hand-painting and kiln-firing process generally requires a 6–8 week lead time to ensure artisan quality.

How do we reach Millennials?
Format: Kindle
“How do we reach Millennials?” is the burning question of the day among churches everywhere. They seem to be the lost generation. For my part, I think it comes down to showing that Christianity is a relevant, vibrant, and intellectually robust worldview that directly bears on life in meaningful and practical ways. The inclination to dismiss Christianity as irrelevant to one’s life or as intellectually insipid must be patiently and systematically refuted. This is done by engaging the mind, and showing that there are sound reasons for biblical admonitions. Christianity’s moral demands are not ad hoc or capricious, as many believe. God’s laws have specific purposes, and there are distinct, predictable consequences for ignoring them. A person desiring to change his or her actions must start with the mind, for it is the root of habit. Henry David Thoreau once said, “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.” I fear the same can be said of the Christian church in confronting our culture. We hack at the branches (symptoms) while ignoring the root (the mind and its underlying philosophy.) Or we engage in theatrics to “bring them in” and have nothing to offer when they come. Chesterton wrote, “Merely having an open mind is nothing; the object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.” We must have something solid to offer those we wish to win. Scripture tells us that one eager to escape the prison of worldly philosophy must begin by transforming himself through renewing the mind (Rom 12:2.) Enter Nancy Pearcey with her new book, Love Thy Body. All of Pearcey’s books are thought-provoking and readable, and Love Thy Body is no exception. Quoting C.S. Lewis from Love Thy Body, “The Christian and the Materialist hold different beliefs about the universe. They can’t both be right. The one who is wrong will act in a way which simply doesn’t fit the real universe.” And this is the crux of the matter. Pearcey demonstrates throughout her book how and why secular philosophies fail to fit reality, while the Christian worldview fits. To our great misfortune, many are so far gone that they explicitly disavow reality as binding or that we must rely on it as a guide. Many, but not all. There remains a remnant who still care about objective reality and it is for them that this book is written. The lynchpin of the book is Pearcey’s description and analysis of the fact/value split, which manifests itself in a body/person dualism. I learned many paradigm-shifting things by reading the book, but in the next paragraph I’ll give one example. Christians are often accused, in knee-jerk fashion, of “irrationally” introducing religion (metaphysics) into moral questions such as transgenderism, a.k.a. “imposing religious views.” However, it does not take a great deal of reflection to realize that the science of biology (reality) agrees with the Christian view. A person’s sex is an undeniable, objective, biological fact all the way down to the cellular level, as a recent controversial TED Talk attests. It is in fact the secularist who seeks to introduce religion or metaphysics to the question by insisting that “personhood” (whatever sex an individual wants to “identify” as at any given moment) trumps biological fact. The secularist has often trumpeted, loudly and belligerently, his allegiance to science and reason, while accusing the Christian of superstition. But we see that this is a mere caricature. The transgender apologist downplays and ignores objective reality to prefer subjective spiritualism, AND seeks to IMPOSE that view on all others. So, the secularist, in this instance, is guilty of the very thing of which he accuses others. (Forgive me for using broad nomenclature here, I know that not all secularists are on board with the anti-science transgender movement.) There is much more substance within that I could go on about, but this review is lengthy enough as is. You’ll just have to read the book. Buy it now! [Full disclosure: I received a free preview copy of the book as part of the #LoveThyBody launch team, for which I enthusiastically volunteered. This review represents my unbiased opinion, nonetheless.]

A welcome inoculation to today's bleak outlook on our bodies
Format: Hardcover
Book Review: Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality Author: Nancy R. Pearcy Format: Hardback Topic: Christian Thought and Culture Scope: Contemporary Living and Influence in the Culture Purpose: To equip Christian leaders, parents, and students with the tools to know about the "why" and "how" about the current cultures' view on topics concerning our bodies. Structure: The book has an introduction, 7 chapters, and a study guide. 1. I Hate Me: The Rise and Decline of the Human Body (We have inadvertently accepted a flawed view of the body as less real and of less worth than it is in reality) 2. The Joy of Death: "You Must Be Prepared to Kill" (The desire to liberate women from reproduction is based on faulty, dehumanizing reasoning) 3. Dear Valued Constituent: You No Longer Qualify As a Person (When we hold the body as of little value, no one is safe against the dehumanizing effect) 4. Schizoid Sex: Hijacked by the Hookup Culture (Contrary to popular belief the sexual revolution doesn't value the body enough) 5. The Body Impolitic: How the Homosexual Narrative Demeans the Body (When feelings and desires rule our actions and beliefs we deny the more objective grounding of biology to tell us who we are and how we should live) 6. Transgender, Transreality: "God Should Have Made Me a Girl" (Encouraging gender dysphoria and sex changes flies in the face of the objective facts of biology to the detriment of human persons) 7. The Goddess of Choice is Dead: From Social Contract to Social Meltdown (The foundations of the major institutions of society have shifted from biology to social contract) What it does well: *Pearcey is fantastic at making hard material accessible to all audiences. While much of the information in this book could be very academic, Pearcey has gathered scores of illustrations and stories to drive the harder points home. *In every chapter, Pearcey compares and contrasts the current secular view of the body with the biblical view of the body. She shows how the Christian view of the body is more freeing and more complete than our current view. *Similarly, Pearcey also shows how the Christian view is more objective and values the person more highly. *Pearcey clearly shows that often women and children are demeaned and dehumanized through the very ideas and practices meant to free them. This is a huge contention in our society and Pearcey's voice fills a huge need here. *Another thing the book does well is to show how the ideals of the homosexual and transgender movement are really enslaving people to unhealthy gender stereotypes. Instead, if masculinity or feminity is rooted in the unchanging root of biology then we can engage in a whole host of activities without threatening our gender or sexuality *Probably the best part of this book is how deeply Pearcey's love for individual people comes through as she is critiquing some of their most cherished beliefs. What it lacks: *While Pearcey's cultural analysis is fantastic, her philosophy is not quite as steller. I wondered throughout if she had oversimplified some thinkers and seen connections to today's problem that are not necessarily there. I did find that some others (who have more expertise in the area than I) thought similarly: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/eidos/2018/01/love-thy-body-nancy-pearceys-book-brilliant-flawed/?repeat=w3tc . This doesn't harm the overall message of the book, but instead just makes it clunky and a little confusing at points. *While this book was a great hybrid of academic and popular work, I am not partial to the choice for endnotes rather than footnotes. Many publishers choose endnotes in popular works because the reader need not be distracted by the trivia and citing that goes on and I understand that. However, footnotes are much better for those of us who want to seek out sources or understand the material in more depth. That being said, this criticism is cosmetic. Some quick highlights: "My goal in Love Thy Body is to show that a secular morality 'doesn't fit the real universe.'"-11 On fetuses developing into persons: "But there is no scientific evidence of such a transformation--no single, dramatic turning point that can be empirically detected. Embryonic development is a continuous process, gradually unfolding the potentials that were built in from the beginning."-25 "We tend to think sexual hedonism places too much value on the purely physical dimension. But in reality it places a very low value on the body, draining it of moral and personal significance. In the hookup culture, partners are referred to as 'friends with benefits.' But that is a euphemism because they are not really even friends. The unwritten etiquette is that you never meet just to talk or spend time together."-28 "Scripture treats body and soul as two sides of the same coin. The inner life of the soul is expressed through the outer life of the body."-34 "It is true that at death, humans undergo a temporary splitting of body and soul, but that was not God's original intent. Death rips apart what God intended to be unified."-37-38 "The core question in abortion, then, is the status of the human body."-52 "For that matter, even fully developed adults have these traits in varying degrees. When I meet someone who is more intelligent than I am, does that mean they are more of a person than I am--and should have more rights than I have?"-53 "A Christian concept of personhood depends not on what I can do but on who I am--that I am created in the image of God, and that God has called me into existence and continues to know and love me. Human beings do not need to earn the right to be treated as creatures of great value. Our dignity is intrinsic, rooted in the fact that God made us, knows us, and loves us."-55 "The early Christians went beyond simply condemning abortion to providing alternatives--rescuing and adopting children who had been abandoned."-70 "A culture that respects women's bodies will create more flexible career trajectories that allow women to have their families at the time that is biologically optimal. It will create education and work patterns that fit around family responsibilities. When we do that, we will reduce a major motive for abortion."-76 "When human life is no longer seen to have inherent value, it will be subject to purely utilitarian calculation of costs and benefits. Voluntary euthanasia may not remain voluntary."-91 "A fundamental principle of ethics is that people should be treated as intrinsically valuable, not valuable only as a means to some extrinsic end. Or as we say in ordinary conversation, it is wrong to use people."-94-95 "Though evil is still evil, the wonder is that God is greater and can turn it to good."-109 "Today's hookup culture glamorizes impersonal sex but gives no clue how to start a real relationship."-117 "From childhood, young people are awash in sexual imagery, but sexual intimacy is increasingly difficult to achieve."-125 "In a culture that says we have a right to the pleasures of sex, while denying its biological function, many will end up treating babies as the enemy--intruding where they are not wanted or welcome."--150 "Though our feelings are important, Doherty concluded, they are not what define our identity. Nor are they a reliable guide to God's purposes. Because we are fallen and sinful, our feelings fluctuate over time. The most reliable marker of who we are is our physically embodied, God-given identity as male and female."-156 "You cannot be a whole person when your emotions are at war with your physiology."-173 "Our feelings do not define us. Our moral commitments do. We find fulfillment when we find ways to live in congruence with our deepest commitments."-180 "The early church may have been 'on the wrong side of history.' But that's why it changed history."-188 "...you can engage in a range of diverse behaviors without threatening the security of your identity as a man or woman."-198 "The church should be the first place where young people can find freedom from unbiblical stereotypes."-218 "Once a person is convinced that Christianity is true, then they can ask what that means for their sexuality. And only then will they have the spiritual strength and resources to find solutions to their sexual issues."-260 Recommendation?: I highly recommend this book. It is highly needed at this point in our culture. It is a rallying cry to love people with the truth. I especially hope churches start to strategically think through these issues to become havens for those who hurt and are confused.

Love Thy Body
Format: Kindle
The publication of Nancy Pearcey’s book, Total Truth: Liberating Christianity From Its Cultural Captivity sent shockwaves throughout the evangelical world and help equip a new generation of apologists. Total Truth confronted the notion that scientific knowledge and moral knowledge were separated into two domains. The lower story includes objective truths that are public and valid for all people. This is the realm of empirical science. These truths are true and verifiable. The upper story includes the realm of moral knowledge which is private, relative, and subjective. Hence, the so-called unified concept of truth was obliterated and separated into two domains. Pearcey’s subsequent works, Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning and Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes have also left an indelible mark on the church and culture at large. The impact of these books on me personally, cannot be overstated. My suspicion is that many people would concur. Nancy Pearcey’s newest offering, Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality pick up where the other titles left off. The overarching goal of Love Thy Body is to “uncover the worldview that drives the secular ethic.” Ultimately, the book is designed to “show that a secular morality doesn’t fit the real universe.” Readers familiar with Pearcey will quickly see the influence of Francis Schaeffer on her thought. It was Schaeffer who originally exposed the so-called “fact/value” split which has created a fracture epistemology that continues to be propagated today. Pearcey shows the practical outgrowth of this fragmented worldview (or the two-story worldview) by pointing to several contemporary culture matters including abortion, euthanasia, “same-sex marriage,” and transgenderism. She helps readers understand how these various worldviews have been smuggled into our culture and links each of them to the two-story dichotomy. Readers will be encouraged and challenged to walk through the argument of Love Thy Body and will be better equipped to not only contend with culture but also reach out to people who have been deceived by a pagan worldview. Readers will discover that Pearcey’s argument is not combative. Rather, her heart cries for people who have been co-opted by this deviant worldview. She pleads with readers to reach out and love people with Christ-centered love: “Christians must present biblical morality in a way that reveals the beauty of the biblical view of the human person so that people actually want it to be true.” Love Thy Body is a book that is filled with description and prescription. Facts and figures run through the book but the author is not content to leave her readers with data alone. She sets forth a workable prescription which is set on helping people and healing them at the deepest level. Therefore, “We must work to educate and persuade on a worldview level,” writes Pearcey. Such an approach is imperative if Christ-followers have any hope of reaching a lost world with the saving message of the gospel. Running through the book is a mindset that Pearcey, no doubt, learned from Schaeffer, namely, sharing the gospel with a tear in one’s eye. Love Thy Body is riveting, challenging, educational, a shot to the heart, a challenge for the mind, and bold push for the feet. It will spark controversy in some venues and may even precipitate debate in the local church. Surely, this kind of debate is necessary as Christians seek to influence culture for God’s glory. I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.

Getting past the noise to a holistic view of the person
Format: Hardcover
In order to have effective conversations about difficult and controversial subjects such as abortion, euthanasia, and sexual ethics it is important for both parties to be on the same page. Otherwise, it is easy to make assumptions about the other person’s motives and end up talking past each other. Discussions turn into arguments where name calling and personal attacks are more common than a reasoned and thoughtful exchange of ideas. In my own experience, it has been difficult to speak up about many of these types of sensitive subjects in public because of fear that I will be labeled intolerant or bigoted. In fact, it appears our culture, as a whole, has descended into a shouting match where the loudest voice is either the secular one screaming about trigger words and safe spaces where no one can challenge your views, or a caricature of Christianity which writes off everyone who disagrees as a hopeless reprobate who is going to hell. In this cacophony, the Christian message of God’s redeeming love for humanity is drowned out in a sea of empty words. Voices shouting past one another, convincing only those who already agree with us. This situation that many Christians find themselves in, unable or unwilling to speak for fear of being attacked and shouted down is why the new book by Nancy Pearcey Love Thy Body is so important. I have been blessed to be part of both the manuscript review and the book launch team for this amazing book and I have to say that this may be one of the most important books for all Christians to read, especially those who wish to be more effective in the public sphere. Over the course of seven very accessible chapters she addresses the most pertinent issues of our times, from abortion, and assisted suicide to the hook up culture and the LGBTQ movement which is sweeping our nation and exposes a fatal flaw in the secular narrative. This flaw that runs through all of these issues is a fractured view of the person which splits apart the body and the mind. What results is a negative view of the body which tramples on human rights and dignity. The secular narrative is that the Christian view of the person is repressive and prudish, often denigrating the authentic self. They want to claim the high moral ground because their view is based on love and acceptance. Nancy’s book gives us the tools to get past the walls and barriers built up by secular buzz words such as “death with dignity,” “marriage equality,” and “pride” to the underlying worldview so we can be on the same page as those we are speaking with. In her words: “As we face the social ills of our own day, we must move beyond denunciations that can sound harsh, angry, or judgmental and instead work to show that the biblical ethic is based on a positive view of the body as part of the image of God.”

Clear thinking on contemporary confusion about our bodies.
Format: Hardcover
We live in a sound-bite society. A 30-second commercial exceeds our attention span unless it is cute, provocative, catchy or unusually funny. Many cannot sustain a thought longer than the time it takes to breathe. Our convictions are strong, they are popular, but they are typically backed by only a thin layer of thought. How can so many be wrong? I will go with the flow of the cultural consensus. As a new Christian, I read “The Christian Mind,” by Harry Blamires. It convinced me that Christians should think. Perhaps true Christianity begins as an admission of sin and an experience of the love and grace of God that we call conversion, but that is only the beginning. We are welcomed into a new found wealth of wisdom for living in God’s world. Growing holiness is the long, slow and sometimes painful journey back to Eden and the way things were meant to be. The Christian life involves the mind and living by revealed convictions. Yet, almost everyone in our culture today lives by a set of convictions of their own. They live by a set of self-discovered rules, ultimate convictions about life, love and the way things are supposed to be. They construct their own ethics out of these convictions. This ethic is fiercely held and savagely defended, but the foundation is very thin. The culture wars are fought on the worldview battlefield. It is the ethics behind the conviction and the thinking behind the thought that needs to be examined, challenged and ultimately changed. When we confront a non-Christian with the holes in their worldview; when we apply thought and fact and truth and history to their ultimate convictions we are shouted down with angry rhetoric. The thinking behind most practical worldviews is paper thin and ill-founded. And when the law of unintended consequences bites them they do not know why. We need to show them why. Christian apologetics is the intentional deprivation of another’s ‘God-Suppressor.” They know God, but they suppress that truth down because of their independent ethic and their perceived freedom in sin. Yet, it is God’s world and his rules apply. Reality bites and apologists show them why. Nancy Pearcey is a worldview apologist. Christians ought to live by a set of revealed convictions about God and man and truth and law and ethics. We are radically different from the world around us because we grow, like plants, out of another kind of fertilizer. We are nourished by divine wisdom. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ. (Colossians 2:3) In many ways, I cut my spiritual teeth on the writings of Francis Schaeffer. Through him, I learned to think like a Christian, and that the Christian need not be ashamed of his intellectual heritage. Now that my teeth are cut, I brush them with Nancy Pearcey writings. She is the echo of Schaeffer updated and applied to the modern world that Schaeffer prophetically warned us about. Her latest book, "Love Thy Body", applies the Christian mind to contemporary issues regarding our bodies. (Abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, transgenderism, stem-cell research, sex, marriage, and homosexuality.) It shows how to understand the thinking of the modern world and apply logic, fact, research, from a Christian mind to the hot-button issues of the day. It is a book that you really should read. It will make you think; like a Christian.
