Ceramics museum - Alchimiacollection

Description

the CASA Vestita is an outstanding palazzo in the ancient area of Grottaglie; it has its own splendid 19th century garden and beautiful exhibits
excavations have brought to light important and ancient pieces which are now displayed in a private museum
the Vestita family is represented today by three brothers, who pass on the ancient tradition of ceramics: Carmelo models the clay, Mimmo decorates the artefacts and Antonio, an engineer, collaborates on more complex projects
in their BOTTEGA Vestita in Via Santa Sofia 23 they make unique pieces in brilliant colours, which take typical local forms and renew them to suit contemporary tastes
like the “pumo”, a typical Grottaglie good luck charm that can be found on the balconies of the town’s historical and modern houses: a bud decorated with acanthus leaves, symbolising spring and the rebirth of nature
