Welcome to Bella Ceramica. In 1999 after several years operating in San Francisco as a wholesale business, Claudio Luporini opened Bella Ceramica on Piedmont Avenue. Today Bella Ceramica offers one of the largest selection of artistic Italian ceramic gifts, decorative tableware, and home accessories in the East Bay. Luporini travels to Italy on a regular basis to stock the most comprehensive line of handmade majolica available. People say, walking into the shop is like being in Italy. We hope you enjoy our online shop as well. We offer gift certificates which are available online. Please call 510.601.7938 to inquire about registries for weddings and other events. We invite you to browse through our store and shop with confidence. We invite you to create an account with us if you like, or shop as a guest. Either way, your shopping cart will be active until you leave the store. Because our pottery is one of a kind, hand painted and in limited editions, we show all the available patterns but may not have all the patterns available when you place your order. Claudio will work with you personally to try to acquire the exact piece you are seeking so please understand that certain pieces may be in limited supply or no longer in production. Thank you for visiting.
