Ceramica Blue was founded in 1987, close to the bustling Portobello Road, enhancing the areas reputation as a focal point for unusual specialist outlets.

We select hand painted items from more than 20 potteries; from family run studios's in Italy to individual ceramicists in Britain.

The shop carries an extensive range of tableware, some thirty designs, decorated to transform even the simplest meal into a celebration.

Keeping the hand painted strongly in mind, we seek out pieces which are both functional and decorative

There is a wealth of generously sized pieces, decorated with glorious colours, some inspired by the strong ceramic traditions of Tuscany and Sicily including the superbly crafted native folk art of Giovanni de Simone (famed for his work with Picasso); others more softly hued, take their influence from the British countryside.

We offer a personal and friendly service and would be pleased to assist you whether it be to select the ideal wedding gift or to ship a dinner service to Tokyo."
