Ceramica Blue

About this place

Ceramica Blue was founded by a lady who grew up on a remote farm in New Zealand, twenty miles from the nearest shop, moved to London, and spent nearly four decades hunting down the most beautiful, unusual tableware and homeware she could find from every corner of the world. Contemporary Portuguese dinnerware alongside elaborately enamelled Pakistani water jugs. Hand painted Sicilian terracotta platters next to Indonesian cookware. French stemware from glassmakers with roots in the fifteenth century. Swedish linens, Egyptian candleholders, Colombian ceramic cookware. Every single piece chosen by hand, every single day, by someone with an eye for colour that nobody else in this city quite matches. One of London's great independent shops, three minutes from the market, almost entirely undiscovered by the people who walk past it every Saturday.
