Ceramica Blue was founded in 1987, close to the bustling Portobello Road. They have many hand painted items, both functional and decorative, which are decorated with magnificent colours. Some are inspired by the ceramic traditions of Tuscany and Sicily including the superbly crafted native folk art of Giovanni de Simone (famed for his work with Picasso) and others take their influence from the British countryside. The shop is open on the first Sunday of every month between Midday and 4pm.
