Della Robbia was a popular form of decorative welcome featured during the holiday season during colonial times. Della Robbia's can best be found at Williamsburg, Virginia although the Mission House, located in Stockbridge, displays a lovely example of this craft during the holiday season. Constructed of natural fruits and vegetables mounted on a handsomely shaped, board these decorative plaques are frequently placed above an entryway or window. Learn how to make and preserve a Della Robbia to grace your entryway. Whether using a harvest theme with unusual heirloom squash and gourds or following a more traditional fruit and evergreen format, design and construct a Della Robbia decoration to enjoy during the holidays.
