Black & White Wednesday - Week # 15

Vietri sul Mare, a small tourist town on the Amalfi Coast,

famous for  its ancient tradition of ceramic craftmanship,

 

"Ceramica Artistica Solimene" 

one of the oldest and biggest factory, 

 crockery, dinnerware, floor and wall tiles, 

still worked and painted entirely by hand,

 

brilliant colors,  lovely shapes, funny patterns,

all different but all nice,

can't say which one to choose,

 

a place I can't miss to visit when I am in the sourroundings,

where I could not stop my hands from touching every single thing,

kneeling on the floor, moving plates here and there

 looking for something special and new for the kitchen,

happy when you find a souvenir of flavors and pleasant moments

you were lucky enough to enjoy in one of the best places in the world!

Ceramica Solimene has been producing the Buon Ricordo plate since 1964,

for 111 restaurants in Italy and now 14 abroad, 

11 in Japan and one each in Hong Kong, Luxemburg and Vienna.

This picture goes to Susan from The Well-Seasoned Cook for BWW,

the weekly culinary photo event she recently launched.

See you next week!
