The Artisan Behind the Craft: Giacomini Ceramics of Orvieto, Italy

High above the rolling hills of Umbria, in the ancient hilltop town of Orvieto, the Giacomini family has been creating ceramic masterpieces for generations. Known for their bold use of color and iconic "Fruit on Black" pattern, Giacomini’s work reflects a deep respect for history—and a passion for keeping Italian artisan traditions alive.

Each piece is lovingly hand-painted using traditional maiolica techniques, a centuries-old Italian craft where clay is dipped in a white glaze and decorated with mineral-based paints before firing. In Giacomini’s studio, the process is slow, intentional, and personal. Every plate, vase, and charger is touched by human hands, shaped by heritage, and infused with the spirit of Orvieto itself.

Inspired by the lush landscapes of Umbria and the rich bounty of Italian fruit and flora, Giacomini’s signature designs are instantly recognizable: vibrant lemons, figs, grapes, and pomegranates set against a dramatic black background. These vivid colors don’t just decorate a plate—they tell a story of place, of memory, of Italy’s rustic elegance.

The Giacomini workshop remains a true family affair, where time-honored skills are passed from parent to child. In a world of mass production, they stand as a rare reminder that beauty is best when made by hand, with care, soul, and artistry.

At Biordi Art Imports, we are honored to represent Giacomini of Orvieto, and to bring their heirloom-quality creations to American homes. Whether used at the table or displayed on the wall, each Giacomini piece connects you to a living legacy of Italian craftsmanship.

Italian ceramics are heirloom quality products, and can last lifetime with proper care. We have some suggestions that will preserve your majolica for years to come.

Majolica is dishwasher safe, but many people choose to hand wash their pieces as a precaution. Because majolica is a porous material, some pieces are not meant to hold liquid for a long period of time. Check for warning labels before ordering a product, as the pieces that are most notorious for "sweating" are appropriately labeled.

Majolica is sensitive to extreme temperatures, specifically boiling or freezing liquids. Pouring water with a rolling boil directly into a teapot, for example, may lead to breakage. To avoid this, temper the object. The industry standard is 620 degrees Celsius (1,148 degrees Fahrenheit). Quench the glass to cool it.

Crazing is common in well used majolica. The tiny cracks in the glaze do not affect the functionality of your majolica.

Majolica hand-crafted products should not be microwaved, as it may crack and/or break the ceramics.
