Despite countless attempts at imitation by others, ceramics from Vietri (le ceramiche di Vietri) have proven themselves to be so unique that they can’t be duplicated. Thanks to the ceramics’ rich history and tradition, not to mention the specialized system used to produce it, Vietri’s ceramics really are in a class of their own. The process and the result are both deeply rooted in the tradition of authentic Italian handicrafts.
Le ceramiche di Vietri boast a centuries-old tradition that dates back to the 15th century. Its history has been documented through ancient furnishings and fittings, as well as old documents on the art of ceramics that were found in the area. While ceramics in Vietri were originally created in little workshops, the way they are produced has been refined through the years. The high quality of Vietri ceramics, and the improved production methods, allowed the product and the town to become famous the world over (even though the clay used was imported from nearby Salerno).
