Modigliani Ceramics from Rome
Modigliani ceramics are completely hand made by artisans in and around Rome. It is just about the most eye-catching range from Italy we have. It is very popular in the barn especially with people looking for a stand alone-piece like a serving bowl, platter or wine jug. As you can see, Modigliani, to the delight of our customers, decorate both inside and out.  Due to many customer requests the tableware selection is being increased to include espresso cups and saucers, butter dishes and smaller olive dishes.We now stock the complete dinner service.  Special orders are welcomed.
C.A.F.F. Italian ceramics
This Italian company produce some amazing tableware.  This range "Italian Fresco" is a favourite of mine  and has a real rustic yet polished finish. You can almost imagine an Italian family sitting down to eat a wonderful homemade pasta dish when you look at this range.  Not only hand thrown but hand painted . We particularly like this range when mixed in with our ivory creamware. 25% off only while stock lasts
Cevalfer Ceramics from Portugal
Imported direct from Portugal we have the most attractive yet functional hand made terracotta you are likely to see. We have visited this small family run factory just outside Oporto and watched in fascination as the potters create beautiful tableware and cookware. We noticed that at no stage were scales or tape measures used which perhaps explains why no two pieces are alike. These products are made with great attention to detail. So if you are looking for a lasagne baker with extra deep sides or maybe some individual oven proof dishes for your Mediterranean recipes then look no further.
Italian Amphora Pots
These large amphora pots are hand made in cave factories in the foot of Italy and are available in many sizes and colours. Still made in the traditional way they are truly impressive. Traditionaly used to transport oils and wines they are now used to decorate homes to great effect. If you need a large stand alone ceramic object you need look no further. Imported direct from Italy prices start at just £35.
Little Italy
We have a special corner in the barn known as little Italy. Here you will find most of our more dramatic ceramics from Italy and Portugal including platters,jugs,bowls,olive dishes and serving pieces. This really is a special area in the barn and there is always new stock arriving.
