Best for Agata Tomaselli hand-builds Ater Ceramica's wood-fired stoneware in Florianopolis, Brazil
Agata Tomaselli makes Ater Ceramica's stoneware in Florianopolis, Brazil, working from a studio near Armacao do Pantano do Sul where finished pieces are also available for local pickup. Every piece is wood-fired, a process the studio describes as leaving clay 'marked by body, movement and heat' - the flame path and handling of each piece show in the finished surface rather than being smoothed away. Named pieces like the Vaso Nevoeiro and Copo Nebula anchor a wider Colecao Fogo e Afeto, or Fire and Affection Collection, spanning vases, bowls, mugs, and cups for daily use rather than display alone. Because each piece comes out of the kiln individually shaped by the wood-firing process, the studio states plainly that no two are identical - a damaged piece can't be replaced with an exact match, only exchanged for another work of equivalent value. Ater ships nationally through Correios, Brazil's postal service, generally within six business days of payment, alongside the local pickup option around the island.
Ribeirão da Ilha
Ceramicists Maria Graciela Baigorria and Ana Paula Dreher shape miniature whitewashed churches, folk figurines and decorative plaques drawn from the Azorean life of the Ribeirão fishing village. The studio doubles as a community space, running free clay workshops for local children alongside its shelves of regional pieces.
Best for Azorean-inspired ceramic figurines and keepsakes
Morro das Pedras (Campeche)
Ceramist Marlene Vicente hand-builds decorative and everyday pieces at Morro das Pedras, several carrying motifs borrowed from the region's Carijó rock art. She finishes everything in non-toxic glazes and takes on personalised favours for weddings and events.
Best for Hand-built decorative ceramics and event favours
