If it's hand-made in Italy, why does it say the country of origin is China?

This is an excellent question and I also would like an answer from THE Italian company.

Hand made in Italy by skilled craftsmen, the C30 is a delight to use. This is a board made with passion, by people who care. It was designed to provide terrific stability and features to make ironing less work.

I don't know. I re-looked at all adds with information on board and never saw country of origin as China. Where did you get this information from? I looked over packing and carton and saw no such indication. Now I am curious.

I rechecked information and found country of origin specified as Italy at http://www.reliablecorporation.com/Products/Home-Tables/The-Board-C60. This should stop inference that country of origin is China. Just bad info by someone who does not investigate fully. The same information is given for the C-30 Board (which my wife has been using for about a year and just loves).

I don't know either, I was shopping for the best board I could find at a not-too-ridiculous price. This filled the bill for me, regardless of the origin. I'd suggest that if it matters very much to you, you should write the company and ask them about this contradiction. Then let us all know what they say!

I didn't inspect the packaging, and didn't really concern myself with it's origin. My guess would be China...what ISN'T made in China these days?

Just looked for tag. As I figured, it says made in China. Hopefully, this won't deter you. It is a great invention. PS, I have nothing to do with the company, but am a designer so admire clever designs/products, and this is one of them.

I'm sure it's an import; but I don't know which country. It says import on the web page. I didn't keep the instructions that came with it. I'm guessing the country of origin would be on the instructions. If I had to guess I'd say China. It's good quality. I'm still very happy with mine.

I don't know, but I assume so...afterall it's made in Italy. Best if you call European Gift & Houseware at 1-800-927-0277.

No, the "Made in Italy" notation is on the box.By the way, I think that the glasses are wonderful. Heavy, durable, and well made.

The tag on the handle says "Germany," but there's a sticker on the bottom saying "Made in China." [No.6 version]

I don't know. I don't have the box, and the juicer doesn't have a country of origin on the bottom. The Alessi website says that some items are made outside of Italy, but there's no specific info about the juicer. We use it daily and it's the best we've ever had-the motor is very powerful.

on the bottom, engraved in the actual metal grinding wheel it says "Made in Italy"

The origin place is China. You can actually see it in the product details on the main page, it says that it is Imported(China) The item was manufactured in China, and imported. Hope this answered your question! :)

I am not sure... sorry. It is beautiful. I love mine! I try not to buy things made in China as well and to be honest I don't think this was... but I am not sure.

If you zoom in on the product image, it says Made in China, but I can't verify this is still the case

The box I have (which is differente from the one in the photo, mine is more like a cube) says at the bottom "Made in Italy". Hope it helps.

This product carries a label with a manufacturing place of TAIWAN. As you should know, most companies nowadays outsource and the favorite place for manufacturing is China. Therefore the origin of this item.

Stamped on the machine is "Made in Italy" Seems to be a tough little thing!

I am not 100% positive, but I would say China is most likely the country of origin.

I looked all over the item and the box, couldn't find a country of origin. I'll guess Japan, but it could also be China.
