DESCRIPTION
A natural bamboo paddle board, made in Italy and printed edge to edge with a patchwork of Italian majolica tile patterns — Sicilian-style blue and gold scrollwork, a column of red rosettes, a band of golden acanthus leaves on deep green, and a run of small tiles in diamond, stripe, and floral designs. It is the look of a hand-painted tile wall from Southern Italy, on a board you can put to work.
At 5 x 11 inches it is sized for a wedge of Parmigiano, a few slices of salame, bruschetta, or a small loaf of bread. The bamboo handle makes it easy to carry from kitchen to table, and the hole in the handle lets you hang it on a hook when it is not in use.
Bamboo grain varies, so the wood tone will differ slightly from board to board.

Questions buyers ask
What can I serve on it?
Cheese, salumi, bread, bruschetta, olives — anything you would put out for aperitivo. Its size suits one or two people, or a single cheese on a larger spread.
Is it hand-painted?
No. The tile patterns are printed onto the bamboo, which keeps the colors bright and the price low. If you want a hand-painted piece in these same patterns, Biordi carries majolica made by hand in Deruta and Sicily.
Where is it made?
In Italy.
What patterns are on it?
A collage of designs drawn from Southern Italian tilework: blue and yellow scrolling vines with flowers, red rosettes on white, golden acanthus on green, and small tiles with diamond, stripe, wave, and floral motifs. The palette — cobalt, saffron yellow, red, and green — is the classic majolica palette of Sicily and Umbria.
How do I care for it?
Wash by hand with mild soap and dry it right away. Do not soak it or put it in the dishwasher — standing water is hard on any bamboo board.
Is this a good Christmas gift?
Yes. It is an easy under-$50 gift for anyone who loves Italian food or has traveled to Sicily or the Amalfi Coast, and it pairs well with a wedge of cheese or a jar of pesto. Order by December 15, 2026 for ground shipping in time for Christmas, or add Florentine gift wrap at checkout and we’ll send it ready to give.
Is this a good Italian wedding gift?
On its own it is more of a small add-on than a wedding gift, but it works well tucked in with a larger present. For a wedding gift meant to last, look at hand-painted Deruta dinnerware or Murano glass by Salviati.
Is this a good housewarming or hostess gift?
Yes. It is the right size and price, it gets used, and it brings color to the table. Add one of our Italian pantry items and it becomes a ready-made gift.
Why buy Italian gifts from Biordi rather than other retailers?
Biordi Art Imports has imported from Italy since 1946 and is a San Francisco Legacy Business (#LBR-2020-21-029). We buy directly from the makers — FIMA, CF Deruta, Pia Formato, Eugenio Ricciarelli, Susanna DeSimone, Geribi, Bucci Ceramiche, Ortigia Sicilia, Italesse, and Salviati — and we know where each piece comes from. Questions: (415) 392-8096 or [email protected].
About the Design
Made in Eatalia — An Italian-made board that borrows the tile patterns of Southern Italy, where majolica tiles have covered kitchen walls, church floors, and courtyard benches for centuries. In Sicily and in Umbrian towns like Deruta, those patterns are still painted by hand today; this board brings the same look to the table in an everyday serving piece.
