To call this a home decor shop is not quite accurate, but since there is not an Art category that works well for this shop, I'll have to make do. This is a ceramics shop that deals entirely in items produced in Italy. Most of their items are made in Campania by local artists. Everything here is beautiful. They have something for just about anyone who would like a beautiful memento of their trip to Ischia. I particularly love their ceramic fish. They're lively and beautiful. Some of them on the outside of the shop are made to look like local fishes. Some are signed by the artists. Also available are the beautiful tiles typical of the region that use a process similar in idea to cloisonne. The picture is outlined by ridges in the tile and then the colors are filled into the areas outlined. Then the whole thing is baked so that you end up with a beautiful and textured design. Love these tiles. I bought several. Actually, we hit this shop with a particular vengence.
The man who works there was really nice and answered all our questions. He was proud of their art and if you liked one thing he could make other recommendations that you might like more. He also helped us pack up our things so that they were very safe on the way home. We only suffered one breakage of a particularly delicate item. We were unhappy about it, but the break was our fault, not his.
If you're looking for a high quality memento, please consider stopping at this beautiful little shop. You will be happy that you did. read more
