Sorrento


Inspired by local marine life, history and mythology, Alessandro Ottone and his partner Enrica Cerchia create some of Sorrento's most idiosyncratic, textural ceramics. Fish pop out of plates, and surfaces are often etched with whimsical patterns. You'll find everything from platters, coffee cups and table lamps, to jewellery and Christmas-tree decorations. Crockery products are non-toxic and dishwasher safe.
