Dimensions of the tray: Ø30cm / Ø11,81 in The scagliole, italian innovation The scagliola (from the Italian Scaglia, "scale"), also called "stuccomarmo" is invented after the discovery of a gypsum in northern Italy, the selenite.

The use of very sophisticated techniques consisting in coloring the paste directly allows to create a perfect imitation of marble on the surface.
