ARTIST-RE & ORIGINALI-TEA

Artisan products that combine quality and uniqueness

Cristina is the passionate creator behind her refined and elegant designs. Born in Rome with a rich Italian heritage, she studied at a prestigious art school in Northern Italy, where she trained as a fine artist and illustrator and developed a mastery of traditional techniques that continue to define her work today. Each intricate decorative pattern is meticulously hand-painted, ensuring a sense of uniqueness and originality that cannot be replicated.

Drawing on her European artistic roots, Cristina combines timeless craftsmanship with a contemporary vision, continually inspired to create innovative, mix-and-match pieces that embody her signature fashion-forward feminine style. Her decorative designs are not only infused with grace and elegance but also celebrate artistry as a form of storytelling — pieces that invite collectors to experience beauty, creativity, and individuality in everyday rituals.

"It's the little things, the finishing touches, that turns ordinary into extra ordinary."

We are committed to creating a positive impact across all our connections, including the many charities and organisations we proudly support. For over 25 years, we have partnered with an Australian not-for-profit disability social enterprise for our warehousing and logistics, providing meaningful employment opportunities for individuals of diverse abilities — creating pathways, changing lives, and empowering people through dignified work.

OUR TEAWARE

The making of our teaware involves up to 16 steps in the production process, ensuring the highest quality and durability that stands the test of time. Each piece is made by hand through traditional hand making methods unlike many machine made products on the market.

Our teaware is made from ‘New Bone China’, a vegan friendly alternative to traditional bone china that maintains its fine finish and beautiful aesthetic.
