When I was in Italy a few weeks ago, I tagged along with The Whisky Couple to a quaint little town called Montottone,where they introduced me to a small shop known as Ceramiche Bozzi. Pottery lovers, beware.
This family-owned business is no “small shop” – it has been around for over 150 years and is renowned for its terracotta pieces which are dressed-up in colours derived only from substances found naturally in the environment.
Trust me, the web site is only the beginning of the experience. First-off, when you step inside, you feel as though you’re in someone’s basement, with unfinished pots sitting next to beautifully glazed masterpieces. There are nooks here and crannies there, and if you aren’t careful, you might miss the opportunity to find a unique piece of Bozzi pottery that speaks to you.
This is a picture of the beautiful casserole dish that I couldn’t take my eyes off. It’s currently on display in my dining room. It might just be too beautiful to cook with!
Your turn: Name a one-of-a-kind place you find too unique to keep to yourself.
