CLASSICO VIETRI

This is the collection that represents the tradional style and the themes of Vietri ceramics, both those dating back to 1600 and the more recent ones from the ‘60s and the ‘70s. Available in different sizes, from the most popular one 20x20, to 10x10, or floorboards, frames and the beautiful rosettes, these designs on the white glazing called bianco cava, create graceful threads enriching every surface and space. These decorations can be often found in period villas, ancient churches and monasteries around Campania, especially in Sorrento Peninsula, Amalfi Coast and the royal city of Naples. The ceramic decoration is the main feature of important and historical architectures, such as Certosa di Padula and the majolica cloister of Santa Chiara in Naples.costiera amalfitana e nella regale Napoli, ed il chiostro maiolicato di Santa Chiara a Napoli.

TRADIZIONE VIETRI

This collection is composed by some of the traditional and classic designs, revisited and reintroduced in new colours. One of our distinctive features has always been the bespoke product: choosing from our range of 25 colours, adding a touch of exclusivity and uniqueness, creating new armonies and identities to our decorations, so that to suit perfectly with the spaces where they are to be placed.

FORMA

The predominant themes of the decorations in this collection are geometric patterns and stylised flowers. As it often happens, these designs look modern at first, but their origin lays in the great casket of the ancient Vietri ceramic tradition. We have hence taylored a new suit to these designs using those colours which are sometimes secondary and subsidiary to the main ones such as copper green, blue, orange, typically used in classic Vietri decorations. Using cold colours, such as the grey range up to black, the warm tones like cream as far as manganese, we give a contemporary glamour, close to the tones used by interior designers who appreciate the strength and the elegance of the backgrounds of these beautiful decorations. The effect of these fine textures brighten up and give enthusiasm to any space, just as only our decorations can do.

RIEDIZIONI

(Re-editions) that’s the name of this monochrome collection where we propose old patterns, some of them dating back centuries ago. Thanks to the bianco craquelé, which produces a visible crackle on the ceramic surface, together with the unique dark manganese, that characterises the entire collection, the resulting designs are very elegant. Many like to use these designs to create patchworks, a custom from the postwar period, when the different tiles available were mixed up on the walls, a work still visible in some kitchens of old houses on the Amalfi Coast 

ESAGONI

Pythagoras used to consider this ancenstral geometric figure as formed by two crossed triangles (hexagram) the symbol of creation. The hexagon is in fact at the basis of the figure making the flower of life. Hence just because of this aura of magic which surrounds this shape, the sophisticated decorations that we present, have each something wonderful that creates different threads when assembled, depending on the laying.

In the original symbolism the White colour is associated to light as a fundamental element, so as it is written in the myth of creation. Our offer of glazes goes from bright, opaque, glossy with crystals, bluish to metallic. They’re all the result of years of research and study of our laboratories to be able to offer our customers products that are unique and exceptional, suitable to any kind of decor and ambience.
