Positano ceramics

Positano and its ceramics, the realm of excellent pottery

Positano pottery and all the production of the Amalfi Coast is special for several reasons, first of all its ancient tradition. There are only few workshops in this region and they all respect an old belief, they create their masterpieces by following the traditional method. This procedure starts with the natural elements and finish with the creations of exclusive objects. The success of the Positano ceramics, in fact, is due to the configuration of the soil, rich in clay and volcanic material, both of which are precious for the development of the local pottery.

The particular handmade decorations create a unique combination of light, an intense expression of beauty that you can only find in the products of the Amalfi Coast, especially in Positano. Ceramiche Casola, the first company we’re glad to present to you, has a specific aim:  (We work) “to make more beautiful the houses in Italy and all over the world and to export everywhere the beauty of Positano”.

They produce fine dishes, jars, jugs, decorative and functional handmade objects, directly decorated in their laboratories to ensure to each customer an unparalleled product.
