handmade Pottery workshop since 1920

Our workshop, our story

the last historical pottery workshop, ceramics since four generations...

It all started almost a hundred years ago, four generations before us, when Ezio Nesti rekindled the fires of an old furnace. It was 1920 and the hands of men and women began to knead, model and decorate the clay into the furnace of  San Giovanni alla Vena, a small village near Pisa, where there were many potteries up to the early 90's. Today, Ceramiche Nesti, is the last pottery left in town. In the last four generation we crossed the years when the clay was used to make everyday objects, for this we do the things that works.

Today ceramics is probably 'just' a form of art, a particular aspect of the handicraft that merges an old tradition to the current aesthetic taste.
That's why new ideas born everyday from our ancient shop, where our experienced hands creates new forms and our eyes look to that tradition that in our land of Tuscany stands out, sailing over the centuries in the waves of the Mediterranean and that today reaches us as a form of art.
