Announcement
*DISCLAIMER* While we will be following our own advertised processing timeline, we can no longer guarantee delivery times due to shipping delays through USPS, and we aren't able to rush orders or expedite shipping. Our current processing time is 2 weeks, and USPS shipping should take 5-7 days. Thanks for continuing to support our shop!
Thank you for visiting the shop that created the original personalized white and gold ring dish! I'm so glad you're here! What to expect: After you submit your order it goes straight to our production team. We will reach out to you if we have any questions about your order, so no news is GOOD news.
Once your order is shipped, you should receive an email with the tracking information. Due to the volume of orders we ship each day, our packages are dropped off at a USPS loading dock, meaning we don't witness them being scanned in. Please note that tracking may take a while to update, however if it hasn't updated in a few days contact us so that we can resolve any issue. Also note that USPS is not a guaranteed service and we see the same tracking as you do, so if there is a delay in shipping please contact USPS directly. I wish we had more control over that but once we hand off the packages it's completely out of our hands.
When you receive your order, if you love it, please consider leaving us a five star review. It means the world to our little shop, and we seriously do a happy dance every time one comes in. It's because of YOU that we get to do what we love every day.
If your item was damaged in shipping or if there is a problem with the personalization, please contact us so that we can remedy it immediately :)
Lastly, we work 7 days a week to make and ship your orders as well as reply to messages. I promise that we are typing responses to messages as fast as our fingers can fly, but please allow us up to 72 hours to respond. If by that time you have not heard back, we must have missed your convo, so feel free to follow up. It's our dream to have every message responded to as soon as it comes in, but the workload just doesn't allow for that quite yet (it's still our goal!)
Thank you again, I am so overwhelmed by you amazing people who have supported our shop since 2014!
Xo,
Natalie

2 out of 5 starsItem received is not as pictured online. The text is not centered, the dish is not shiny. It looks like a piece of clay that was painted.

*CHRISTMAS DEADLINE* December 3rd is the last day to place an order for delivery by Christmas (shipping within the US). Any orders placed after December 3rd will be shipped in January. We understand that this is an early deadline, but we want to ensure that we're able to keep up with our order volume, and that we allow enough time for seasonal USPS delays. International customers, please note that shipping can take 3-4 weeks. Thanks so much for your understanding and support!

In 2014, I (Natalie) went in search of something unique. I was inspired by all things with a white + gold combination, and I wanted to be able to personalize it. After weeks of research with no luck, I set out to create the product I had in mind. The ring dishes I came up with were entirely unique, and the response was overwhelming.
Gift-giving is a dying art. In a world where automated manufacturing is taking over, finding something unique at an affordable price is nearly impossible. I created The Painted Press to ensure that gifts could still be personal, intentional, and affordable.
Through the years working on this business, we have had many incredible opportunities. From being featured in many major publications, to celebrity events, to every single meaningful conversation with a customer, this business has been the biggest blessing. It has allowed me to work closely with my family, who have all played a major role in keeping the operation going, and it has provided the opportunity to meet and talk to hundreds of people I never would have had the blessing of knowing otherwise.
It is because of all our customers and their support that I have the ability to stay up late painting and call it my job. It is because of you that this dream I didn’t even dare to dream out loud has become my reality. It is because of you that I get to employ college students in need of work. It is because of you that we have food to put on our table each night. And in return, we seek to shop small and support other Etsy shops. So seriously, you make all the difference. Thank you.

What are these made out of? Are they fragile?
I create my dishes out of air dry clay for multiple reasons! We are able to paint watercolor onto them unlike ceramic dishes, giving our shop a very distinct and unique style. I am also able to create them at an affordable price. It is my goal to make gift giving easy, personal and affordable. Because loving your friends and family shouldn't have to break the bank!
LASTLY, they are SO durable! If it falls off the counter, no worries. We actually drop them in front of people at craft shows to showcase durability!
