Ciao Amalfi

Amalfi Coast, Costiera Amalfitana, Ravello · July 16, 2009

Ceramic Shopping in Ravello

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Ceramic Mug

 

The temperatures have gotten hot hot hot here on the Amalfi Coast, and everywhere you go you hear, “Fa caldo!” (It’s hot!) Despite the temperatures, I had some shopping to do, and headed to Ravello on Tuesday for market day.  I found some lovely linen shorts that will be great for these hot days, but I couldn’t stay long under the breezeless and cramped booths. On my way through town I ducked into one of my favorite ceramic shops Pascal Ceramiche d’Arte to get out of the sun and enjoy a bit of beauty. I saw this incredible mug that just had to come home with me. How could I resist starting my day in such a beautiful way?

The Amalfi Coast is renowned for its ceramic traditions, especially Vietri sul Mare, and you can find ceramic shops in every town and along the twists and turns in the Amalfi Coast Road. Ravello has a reputation for fine ceramics, and its winding streets and piazza have many excellent shops. Pascal Ceramiche d’Arte is one of my favorites because it has an amazing selection of stunning table wares, tiles, fountains, tabletops and artistic pieces. Sometimes I just stand and stare!

This store is so beautiful it is like a museum, and I think I could spend hours in here admiring the beautiful work. Next time you are in Ravello, stop by Ceramiche d’Arte and say “ciao!” to Pasquale Sorrentino, the shop’s friendly and knowledgeable owner.

      Hi!

      We are going to Ravello with a tour next week and I believe we are getting to Ravello around 4:30 PM. Will the shops stay open to service our group of 24???

      Thanks for the info!

    I love ceramics but I never buy any because I always find it impossible to choose!

    I love ceramics, but rarely buy any, as I paint my own, but sometimes I see something that I know I could not replicate.

    I started ceramics in 1993 and made so much that when I moved in 2000, I reduced my stuff and also my style at changed, and also when I moved here in 2005, I got rid of even more, did a car boot sale, gave some to my family…

    But it does look absolutely brilliant ..so just maybe 🙂

    Oh that would be a dangerous place for me to enter. I have tons of Italian ceramics and am always searching out more.

    Ciao Welshcakes Limoncello! (I just love your name!) I am looking forward to seeing ceramics in Sicily one of these days.

    Ciao Food Hunter! You will enjoy it! Yes, Tuesday is a good day to go to Ravello if you want to catch market there as well. (Market is Wednesday in Amalfi and is much bigger.)

    Ciao KC! I feel the same way, and it took me a good long time to settle on which mug to bring home with me. They were all so beautiful!

    Ciao Anne! I didn't know you made ceramics. How fun! You would go crazy over some of the intricate designs on the ceramics in this shop. I just stare in wonder! I would love to be able to paint my own. Do you still do it often?

    Ciao Linda! I have noticed some of your beautiful pieces in the photos on your blog. You would love the style here on the Amalfi Coast!

    Ciao Lost in Sicily! Are there a lot of ceramics where you live in Sicily?

    Ciao Chuck! I should warn you then that we both have expensive tastes in ceramics! 🙂

    Hello,
    My husband and I got Married in Ravello in 2012 and bought a few dishes as did my sister and we would both like to see about extending our sets but I am not certain how to go about that. Is there somewhere I could see what you are offering now to make sure the patterns are still there? and see what we might want?

    All the best,
    Rebecca

      Hi Rebecca, Do you happen to remember what ceramic shop you went to? The best bet will be to call them. Nearly all the shops have people who speak English, so they should be able to help over the phone or via email. Good luck!

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
