Polished plaster, also known as Marble plaster or Marmorino Veneziano, is admired for its distinct glossy look, which has enjoyed its recent revival around the globe. Sometimes referred to as polished plaster, its tradition goes back to the early Renaissance when marble imitation was the most feasible solution for the interiors. As the name suggests, it has a resemblance to a marble stone, but with modern designs, it can achieve much more than that.
