    Story Behind the Art:
    'Hi, My name is Marco Polo Serrano. Yes, believe it or not, my name is really Marco Polo. I was born in a small artisan town surrounded by handicrafts, as most of my family are artisans. By the age of 13 I had a job in a workshop that made artistic ironwork, and in this way I helped pay for my schooling. When I was 18, I quit working to concentrate on my studies. I got married, and my wife is also from a family of artisans. When I was 23, she and I decided to open our own workshop with a different design concept, utilizing a metal cutter known as a plasma.

    In this way, a piece of metal is transformed into a decorative accessory. All my designs are crafted in my own workshop. They arise from my imagination, from dreams, or whatever comes to mind as I begin to work with the metal.'

Novica
Since 1999, Novica has been connecting artisans around the world by providing them with a network to sell their fine products, often handmade, in regional marketplaces and online. This revolutionary company, whose name comes from the Latin word novus, meaning new, has partnered with National Geographic to create a fair-trade program that benefits artists in a variety of countries. Each artisan can set prices for their products and change them at will, and there are no fees for listing items on Novica's website. This allows the artisans to remain independent and make the most money from their items, whether they sell Novica home decor pieces or craft beautiful canvases sold in the Novica art gallery. Support global artisans when you purchase products for both inside and outside your home, including Novica patio furniture and Novica kitchen linens and decor. You may also learn more about the person who makes your favorite items and the places where they are made.
Sustain Novica's extraordinary fair-trade program when you buy dishes and serveware for your dining table. Novica dinnerware is made of quality materials, including ceramic, porcelain and stoneware, and many plates and bowls feature vibrant colors and exotic patterns that can dress up any kitchen. You'll also want to check out Novica glasses and barware to complement your dinnerware and fit your lifestyle. Look for stunning hand-blown glass goblets you can serve water or fresh lemonade in and be sure to check out the selection of boldly colored shot glasses for your home bar.
No home would be complete without Novica serveware, either. A hand-painted ceramic soup tureen will look great in any kitchen, and a blown-glass pitcher adds an elegant touch to an outdoor party. Impress guests with Novica garden decor, including beautiful iron welcome signs and charming ceramic flowerpots. Novica jewelry also makes a wonderful gift for friends and family, especially handmade Novica bracelets and necklaces.
Because of its partnership with National Geographic, Novica is able to present beautiful images of individual artisans, their products and the places in which they live to customers all over the world. Take advantage of this program and buy unique items from Novica for your home. One purchase will support an artisan's efforts and allow him to continue producing quality products in his homeland.

    • Gust of Sun

      It was what I was looking for except the sun face wasn't painted that well. I ended up changing the copper to a patina finish and I changed the color of the sun face. It really looks rustic now. If you have any artistic ability, you can change it to meet your needs.

    • This is a bomb

      I call this the bomb. It's the coolest thing I have purchased in a while. It's on a kitchen wall and always receives compliments. It's not like anything I have seen before. You will not be disappointed.

    • This is really nice!

      This is so pretty! I purchased this as a birthday present for a family member. It is well-made and not as bright as pictured so I was actually happy about that! Thanks Overstock-it was a great deal!!!!

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Color online is brighter than in person but it is really much prettier in person.

    • Flaking Sunbeams

      I bought this as a Christmas gift, and when it came in, the paint on the sunbeams was chipping where the metal curved. The item was then out of stock, so I could not get a replacement. I had to give the gift with the chipped paint, and offered to return it after the fact to get them one that wasn't damaged. They said they didn't mind, and kept it. I was very disappointed because it really is a very pretty wall decoration.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
      • How is the quality of the product? Fair
      • Did the product fit true to size? Yes

    • Fun with the sun!

      I am most pleased with this piece. It was carefully packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The colors are exactly what is depicted in the picture. This piece is unique and I love the whimsical sun face. I am going to be very proud to display this on the side of our Phoenix home. Everyone in the neighborhood tends to have suns also but this is a one-of-a-kind that will stand out among the rest!
