Bottega Vignoli and Kurt Alexander works are both included in the feature installation A Full Moon Rising, where in the former swimming pool of Fondazione Cini, a moon rises over the shimmering sea casting its light over a selection of moon jar vases.

And finally… out of the kiln this morning blessed by the full reduction firing. A new masterpiece by Bottega Vignoli is born.

At Bottega Vignoli, a new Gio Vase just completed in shades of cobalt blue and turquoise.
This geometric decoration is the Vignoli sisters’ tribute to Gio Ponti, whose visionary work as Artistic Director of Richard-Ginori in the 1920s and 1930s redefined Italian ceramics by bringing classical ornament into the modern age.

Like Ponti before them, Saura and Ivana Vignoli do not simply preserve tradition—they reinterpret it. Their work belongs to the same lineage: one that honours centuries of Italian ceramic heritage while giving it a distinctly contemporary voice. A dialogue between past and present, where craftsmanship becomes timeless.

The iconic Mediterranea decoration by Bottega Vignoli, with its distinctive shoal of fish, is not simply a decorative pattern but the result of years of dedicated research and artistic investigation into the history of ornament, a defining aspect of the Vignoli sisters’ practice. Inspired by a rare 14th-century Persian ceramic motif, it exemplifies their unique ability to revive historical decorative languages through a distinctly contemporary artistic vocabulary.

Entirely hand-painted by Ivana Vignoli, each Mediterranea vessel is composed of hundreds of individually rendered fish that flow seamlessly across the ceramic surface, creating a rhythmic composition that appears almost alive. While deeply rooted in history, the decoration is unmistakably contemporary, revealing the sisters’ exceptional ability to reinterpret ancient ornamental languages without merely replicating them.

Exactly ten years ago MADEINBRITALY opened its doors in London with a simple ambition: to champion the extraordinary creativity and craftsmanship of contemporary ceramics.

Looking back, it’s incredible to think how much has happened since those early days. What began as a passion for contemporary ceramics has grown into a journey filled with inspiring artists, wonderful collectors, lasting friendships and countless memorable encounters.

This ABITARE feature, published just after our opening, remains a lovely reminder of where it all began and of the vision that continues to guide us today.

Thank you to every artist who has entrusted us with their work, to every collector who has welcomed these pieces into their homes, and to everyone who has been part of our story over the past decade.

None of this would have been possible without two extraordinary women who have been instrumental in shaping the foundations and evolution of the gallery. Viola Emaldi Viola Emaldi played a pivotal role in its inception, defining its original concept, artistic vision and direction. Valentina Buscicchio .contemporanea later helped broaden the gallery’s vision and value proposition, bringing a truly visionary perspective that continues to shape MADEINBRITALY today through her distinctive and thoughtful curatorial approach.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to the next chapter.

Today we celebrate Saura Vignoli’s birthday.

In this recent portrait, Saura is pictured on the left, with her sister Ivana on the right.

This year also marks an extraordinary milestone: 50 years since the opening of their workshop in Faenza in 1976.

We could not be more honoured to represent these two remarkable craftswomen, who have dedicated their entire lives to the pursuit of beauty. Through profound love, discipline and devotion to their craft, they have created works of enduring significance — pieces made to transcend time and to be treasured for generations.

This is what true classicism looks like: not a style borrowed from the past, but one earned through it. Decades of rigorous research into the history of pattern, ornament and decorative form have produced something increasingly rare — work that feels at once ancient and entirely contemporary.

To acquire a Bottega Vignoli piece is not simply to choose a beautiful object. It is to make a decision that will never need revisiting.

The new classics. Already timeless.

Thank you, Saura and Ivana. ❤️

Two interiors. One presence.
The quiet beauty of these flowing, organic forms by Claudia Frignani feels entirely at home in very different settings.

Whether placed within the quiet luxury of a contemporary minimalist interior or set against the warm patina of a period mahogany table, Claudia Frignani’s ceramics settle with effortless grace.

Their sculptural presence doesn’t demand attention — it simply belongs.

About Claudia Frignani

Claudia Frignani is a Milan-based ceramic artist and designer whose practice exists in a refined balance between art and design. She creates unique pieces and limited editions distinguished by a deep sensitivity to materials, forms and craftsmanship.
Experimentation lies at the heart of her work: the exploration of surfaces and textures, the rediscovery of ancient ceramic techniques, and a constant dialogue with the natural world all inform her creative process. An inexhaustible curiosity and desire to create give rise to sculptural ceramic forms that are both organic and deeply tactile.
Over the years, Claudia has collaborated extensively with architects and interior designers, contributing bespoke works to both private residences and public spaces. Before dedicating herself fully to ceramics, she explored a wide range of materials — including metal, concrete, wood, leather and textiles — experiences that continue to enrich the language of her work today.
Each vase is created entirely by hand using the ancient coiling technique known as colombino. Beginning with a simple block of raw clay, Claudia gradually builds her forms through an intuitive and meditative process that celebrates the expressive qualities of the material itself.
Her inspiration stems from a lifelong fascination with nature: its lines, colours, textures and imperfect harmonies. These elements are carefully observed, absorbed and reinterpreted through her own poetic and highly personal vision of beauty.
