Florence Ceramics: Our Favorite Artisans

Florence has been a prominent fixture in Italy’s history dating back to the 1st century, and equally impressive are the works of art that have been created throughout this region for nearly as long. Our collection of Florence ceramics are handcrafted in the surrounding villages, primarily Montelupo. Here are some of our favorite artisans from the region. 

Love of the material, respect for tradition and the desire to experiment, are the ingredients to ND Dolfi designs. The Dolfi family has decades of experience in the production of Italian majolica. Giovanni Dolfi, in 1941 began producing majolica in the castle that dominates Montelupo. In 1994, his son Silvano began an independent company, ND Dolfi Ceramics. Following in the footsteps of Silvano Dolfi, who managed the company until 2009, and awarded by the Tuscan region with Maestro Artigiano's gold medal, the daughters Daria and Natalia with her husband Carlo manage the business today.
