MAC Ceramics

Naples


MAC sells playful, contemporary ceramics created by talented local couple Antimo De Santis and Marina Pascali. Everything is handmade from scratch, from the cube-shaped, pastel-hued necklaces to the polka-dot espresso cups and textile-imprinted dishes. Prices are reasonable, ranging from around €10 for an espresso cup and saucer to around €35 for a teapot.

Ask nicely and Antimo will happily show you the studio itself, hidden away in a 17th-century palazzo across the street.
