Painted plates are another San Gimignano specialty

We saw a number of shops that sold beautifully painted pottery, usually in vry bright yellows, blues and reds. If we didn't have so much unused junk already laying around our house I would like to have bought an entire dinner set with matching water pitchers, serving plates, candle holders, oil containers and salt & pepper shakers. It was really pretty stuff. Just as we were ready to head back to the bus I suddenly decided I had to at least buy an olive oil jar. I had to walk-run back up the cobbled hill to a shop that had reasonably priced ones. After I bought it I headed back to the bus parking lot wishing I had saved a couple Euro for a nice cold soda. I passed this interesting looking pottery shop just as I was about to exit the outer gate.
