If Dad is a hopeless ceramics collector we have a few suggestions to make his Father's Day special.
Since Dad is always looking for the unusual, how about a majolica shaving mug? A number of companies made them and even though he may be reluctant to use it. A nice shaving mug will add a masculine decorative accessory to his bathroom.
Finally, you could always get Dad a book. What better gift than the latest edition of our book on Etruscan Majolica!
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.
