We worked for two years to design our Halloween Polish pottery collection with our friends in Boleslawiec, Poland. Our artisans have been making and preparing the collection since March, exclusively for Uno Alla Volta.

Our exceptionally popular 2014 Polish pottery jack-O’- lantern has been selling beyond our wildest dreams. We are so sorry that we can no longer deliver any new orders of this 2014 edition Polish pottery jack-o’-lantern until well after Halloween. It is absolutely gorgeous and well worth the wait.

Because our jack-o’-lanterns are flying out of our door faster than they can come in, we have created a reservation list for our future polish pottery Jack O’ Lantern editions. You may wish to reserve your 2015 & 2016 edition now, risk free, you may cancel at any time.

In cities and small towns alike, Italy’s open-air markets are the place to go for everything from fruits and vegetables to vintage treasures and local crafts. Our artisan, Letizia, scours the markets in and around Florence for both inspiration and authentic materials to bring our charming kitchen witch to life.2013-03-19 18 47 11 (2)

After gathering her finds, Letizia then handcrafts each figure with traditional features and meticulously hand-trimmed and stitched clothing. According to a centuries-old legend, a kitchen witch will bring good luck and ward off bad spirits when hung within the home. Only 140 of our authentic kitchen witch, an Uno Alla Volta exclusive, will ever be made!

We are so proud to bring you this issue – our strongest autumnal offering since our beginning in 2002.

And what a labor of love this has been for everyone involved. For our artisans who bring to life each individual work with their hearts as well as their hands. For our merchants who collaborate with our artisans to create products just for you. (The vast majority of the treasures you will see here are available no where else in the world!) For our creative team who bring our handcrafted treasures to life in the two dimensions of ink on paper (or pixels on a computer screen).

I have always considered myself to be a student of the creative process. Creativity is how many of us experience and express our own individuality. It is, I believe, one of the fi nest ways to fulfill the human potential.

Yet for all the wonders of individual creativity, I have recently discovered that when one can bring together people with very different gifts and meld their strengths and common vision, the result is often just shy of miraculous. So what is my labor of love? Bringing together
these incredibly talented creative forces and watching a whole evolve that is so much greater than the sum of its parts!
