Monterosso
Several generations of one family create and sell the beautiful ceramics on display at this shop on Via Roma. Vases, bowls, jugs, platters and decorative tiles feature elegant designs – the narrow anchovy-shaped serving platter makes a fine conversation piece and memento. You'll also find a small selection of jewellery and 100% hand-printed linen products (tea towels, beach towels, tablecloths, runners).
There's a smaller second location around the corner.
