We did this ceiling using Safra's Calcenova. Safra is out of business and the product is now being sold through Best Darn Plasters in Texas under a different name. We no longer use the product because of changes made to it in recent years. We now achieve the same results with Texston's Veneciano. Hope this helps.

Yes, Its gorgeous! I was wondering what company makes it. I use Faux Effects Plasters but have not been able to achieve that level of shine.

Not sure, this is not one of our projects. The picture above was taken in great light, Venetian plaster will give you many different color variations even if you are using only one color, add a second color to it and the color possibilites are endless. We have developed techniques that add layers upon layers for depth that you can get lost in. Venetian plaster is just one of the many different types of Italian plasters that are available. They did a nice job on this ceiling.
