Vietri Campagna Collection Large Serving Bowl
With its wide basin and gently sloping sides, this hand-painted ceramic serving bowl from Vietri’s flagship Campagna collection is designed for serving pasta, soup, salad or a large shareable dish; you’ll want to dish up dinner quickly to show off the bowl’s painted interior. Pair it with Vietri’s salad plates or pasta bowls to complete your pasta night set. Inspired by pastoral southern Italy, every piece features a playful, hand-rendered painting of a horse, rooster, cow, pig, fish or bird, plus vibrant wildflowers or bright coastal algae native to the area. Terracotta, locally sourced from the Amalfi Coast, has been used for Italian ceramics for centuries: the first pieces were dried in the sun. But today, Vietri’s artisans make the Campagna line the same way ceramics have been made for 500 years, carefully firing each piece in a kiln to set its shape and unique colors.

Handmade Deruta Olive Oil Bottle
Beloved for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns—and characterized by detailed motifs inspired by nature, mythology and historical events—Deruta ceramics is a style of pottery with roots tracing back to the 12th century. Thanks to an abundance of clay and skilled artisans, the town of Deruta, located in the Umbria region of Italy, remains a hub for ceramic production. Unlike most ceramic styles, Deruta uses maiolica, a tin-glazed earthenware that is fired twice in the kiln—once with a base glaze, then again with the painted finish. This allows the artist to be detailed in the painting of each piece, a traditional method that has been passed down from generation to generation. In business since 1965, the master craftsmen at Mod Ceramics have been individually creating and hand-painting every piece of Deruta ceramics that goes out the door. The Handmade Deruta Olive Oil Bottle is no different. It’s available in three different color variations: the sunny Mediterranean Alcantara design; Galleto, a design highlighting roosters, an Umbrian symbol of good luck or Capri, a design inspired by the bright citrus fruits that flourish in Southern Italy. Perfect for storing olive oil on the table or the counter and equipped with a removable stainless steel pour spout, it’s sturdy and made to avoid chipping so it can last a lifetime. Each piece is made to order, signed and dated before shipping.

Poterie Renault Vintage 1 Liter Cocasse Pitcher
Though the region is best known for wine production, the Loire Valley of France also once contained a secret gem frozen in time: Poterie Renault. Dating back to 1847, the French pottery workshop was filled to the brim with stoneware pieces, all handcrafted from some of the richest and finest clay France has to offer. And while the factory shuttered its doors in 2016, it left behind a treasure trove of salt-glazed ceramics that have become collectible items. Included in that collection—reminiscent of charming French country kitchens is this stunning one-liter pitcher.

Kikka Blue Donabe 10-Inch Casserole
Made in central Japan, this striking blue casserole is a rarity: a ceramic donabe that’s electric-stovetop friendly and doesn’t require seasoning before first use. The donabe is made of banko ware, a traditional stoneware that’s become increasingly rare because of the high skill required to manipulate it. Often fired by direct flame, banko ware is valued for its durability and high heat tolerance. Lightweight and fast-heating, the donabe holds heat longer than other models we’ve tried, even after the heat is turned off, and easy-grip handles make transferring the pot to the table safer. Use the donabe to cook rice, soups, stews, braised dishes or even as a hot pot. The donabe can go on a gas or electric stovetop, as well as in the oven and microwave—and it’s beautiful enough to go from stove to tabletop.
