Milan / Online
Founded in the early 1900s as a glassworks in Quadrath-Ichendorf, Germany, near Cologne; the design house relocated its studio to Milan in 1990, where it produces hand-blown glass, crystal, and (since 2019) stoneware tableware with international designers.
Best for Animal tumblers, borosilicate jugs and playful glassware
Ichendorf's story begins not in Milan but in Quadrath-Ichendorf, a small town near Cologne, Germany, where master glaziers worked silica and other materials into ornamental glass objects from the early twentieth century. Through the 1950s the house's aesthetic shifted decisively, abandoning the decorative excess of its earlier decades for cleaner shapes and unadorned material honesty, a change that set the direction the brand still follows. In 1990 its design center moved to Milan, where it has since worked with international designers on tableware and home objects produced using hand-blown glass techniques alongside crystal and, since 2019, stoneware. The Milan studio functions as a research and design hub rather than a factory floor, coordinating production that continues to draw on glass-forming methods established generations earlier in Germany. The result is a catalogue built on the long transition from ornament to modern form: pared-back glassware, tableware, and decorative objects that carry forward technical know-how from a century-old glassmaking lineage while being designed and directed from Milan today.

Campania
Started more than sixty years ago by Cosmo di Palma and Maddalena Donatantonio in Ravello, Ceramiche Cosmolena hand-paints Amalfi Coast ceramic tableware, from tea cups and sugar bowls to decorative platters, now run by the founders' descendants.
Best for Hand-painted tableware and ceramics from a family workshop founded over sixty years
Ceramiche Cosmolena traces back more than sixty years to a young couple, Cosmo di Palma and Maddalena Donatantonio, who opened a small ceramics shop on Via San Francesco in Ravello, the combined syllables of their names giving the business its own. What began as one storefront grew over the following decades into four sales points around Ravello, on Italy's Amalfi Coast, as the couple's work found a following beyond the town itself.
The workshop sits within a much older regional tradition: ceramic-making on the Amalfi Coast dates to the medieval period, when Arab-influenced majolica in bold yellows and greens was already appearing on buildings like the bell tower of Amalfi's cathedral. Cosmolena's own range draws on that same palette and craft for functional and decorative tableware, sugar bowls, tea cups and saucers, appetizer platters and larger decorative pieces, each hand-painted rather than mass-produced. The business remains family-run from its current home on Via della Marra in Ravello, now carried on by di Palma and Donatantonio's children and grandchildren, who describe every piece as carrying forward not just a craft but the memory and trust built up across three generations of customers.
Campania
This Ravello workshop makes its ceramics entirely by hand in both form and decoration, so each piece varies slightly. The range runs from coasters priced from about 12.50 EUR up to premium lava-stone tables, plus tableware, decorative plates and home decor.

Sesto Fiorentino / Tuscany / Online
The Doccia porcelain manufactory — Tuscan porcelain art since 1735, from Oriente Italiano to Luke Edward Hall. The Florence shop has occupied the ground floor of Palazzo Ginori on Via dei Rondinelli since 1802.
Best for Oriente Italiano porcelain and collector tableware.
Marquis Carlo Ginori founded his porcelain manufactory at Doccia, outside Florence, in 1735 — among Europe's first, racing Meissen and Vienna to master the Chinese secret — and Tuscan aristocratic ambition set the register permanently: sculptural porcelain, painted by hand, meant for palaces. The 1896 merger with Milan's Richard company created Richard Ginori; Gio Ponti's artistic directorship in the 1920s produced Art Deco porcelain of such wit and rigor that his pieces anchor design museums worldwide.
The house's modern rescue is a Florentine story too: Gucci acquired the bankrupt manufactory in 2013, restoring it as Ginori 1735 under Kering — Oriente Italiano's saturated botanical dinnerware became the flagship collection, and collaborations with Luke Edward Hall and scented-candle lines in Labirinto reliefs recruited a new generation to the shelf.
Production continues at Sesto Fiorentino beside the company museum's three centuries of molds. Ginori remains Italy's porcelain aristocracy: the table as fresco, fired at 1,400 degrees.
