Located along the edge of Siena's main piazza, Piazza del Campo, this ceramic & gift/souvenir shop…read morecelebrated 40 years of operation in 2019. As such they have extensive on-line presence as well as at least two locations in Siena. The store is totally full. I don't recommend you to come in with a large backpack lest you should bump into some merchandise on display accidentally. If you're thorough in looking at your items, you might spend a good while here. Since most of the items (if not all) are hand crafted/painted, I don't think there are two that are exactly the same. If you like anything ceramic, you have come to the right place. Whether you are looking for something to commemorate your visit to Siena, or you are wanting some nice ceramic pieces, I'm sure you can find something here. Prices may be a little on the high side since most of the items are hand painted pieces (especially some large art pieces). Happy hunting!

When four or five people are milling around shopping at once it's quite cozy. My favorite thing about this shop is they sell large quantities of my favorite Italian stationery. I spent a lot of time and more than a little money in this shop and just couldn't feel guilty about it. Italian stationery is gorgeous!

I had 2 place settings that were 20+ years old, and I wanted to build up a larger number of place…read moresettings during our latest trip to Italy. Gift Shop #5 represented the artist from my old plates. We ordered 8 new place settings, all a slightly different pattern for mix & match. Roberto waited until I returned home and sent photos of my existing place settings, then he had the artist make 8 more different but coordinating patterned place settings. Hubby also picked out a couple of fun platters at the store run by Roberto's mother. All off the ceramics arrived today in perfect condition. The packaging was incredible with expanding foam, bubble wrap, and lots of tape. The shipping cost was less than we expected for 40+ pounds shipped internationally in a week. We are so pleased that we found the perfect match for our existing dishes, and so happy to have everything arrive in perfect condition. Now time to plan my next dinner party!
