The decor of the “Mediterranea” collection is a reinterpretation of a 14th Century Persian ceramics motif. The tireless research of the Vignoli sisters into the history of ornament has allowed them to bring this centuries old decor back to life with a fresh and contemporary interpretation, still pregnant of the symbolic meanings of the fish across cultures and centuries. Bottega Vignoli pieces with this decor are included in important private and public collections in Europe, the US and the Middle East.

Object History

Bottega Vignoli is a brand of artistic ceramics based in Faenza, one of the most representative ceramic production centres in Italy. Founded in 1976 by sisters Saura and Ivana, Bottega Vignoli stands out for its limited production, accurate details and skilful experimentation resulting in stunning unique and one of a kind pieces. Their style is immediately recognizable and expressly follows the path of Mediterranean Majolica, with inspiration taken from Byzantine, Roman and Islamic themes reinterpreted in their own unique style. Bottega Vignoli production includes ornamental pieces, household objects, elements for urban design, limited series and customized lines. The firing with full-fire reduction technique which they use allows them to obtain shimmering colors and iridescent reflexes so that every piece has unique and inimitable features. The decorative themes are historical reinterpretations or completely original ones, but always on the path of research that makes this territory so distinct. Entirely handmade in Italy, all unique pieces.
