CERAMICHE VIRGINIA

Ceramiche Virginia, with over 40 years of experience, is a recognized leader in the production of high-quality artistic ceramics for home décor and tableware. Located in Montespertoli, at the heart of the Tuscan ceramic tradition, the company skillfully blends the long-standing craftsmanship of master ceramists with continuous research in aesthetic and technological innovation.

Each product is made entirely by hand by skilled artisans at the Montespertoli facility, using traditional techniques rooted in the historic legacy of artistic ceramics from Montelupo Fiorentino. This cultural heritage lives on in the collections of Ceramiche Virginia, which reinterpret and renew contemporary styles and trends while maintaining a strong connection to the values and colors of authentic Tuscany.

Ceramiche Virginia’s production includes a wide range of items, from ceramic tableware such as plates, dinner sets, and decorative vases, to furnishing accessories that enhance living spaces with elegance and character. The Made in Italy design is the hallmark of its collections, created with special attention to the quality of materials and detail — essential elements that ensure durable and refined products.

The company is also distinguished by its strong commitment to innovation and sustainable development: research and development (R&D) are entrusted to a team of professionals led by Franco Ammanati, who work with passion to experiment with new colors, glazes, and decorations, combining traditional techniques with contemporary solutions. Special attention is also given to experimenting with crystalline glazes and eco-compatible materials, ensuring a responsible and environmentally friendly production process.

Throughout its history, Ceramiche Virginia has built a significant presence in international markets, exporting to the United States, Europe, and beyond, establishing its brand as a symbol of Italian quality, elegance, and craftsmanship. The company also offers custom solutions, creating exclusive lines and bespoke products based on client-supplied designs or artwork, meeting the needs of large distributors, retailers, and private clients.

In 2009, the brand Virginia Casa was born — a refined and versatile line of ceramics for home and table décor, distributed through specialty shops in Italy and abroad. Virginia Casa stands out for its ability to merge the Tuscan ceramic tradition with a contemporary style, creating objects with strong visual and functional appeal, capable of bringing style and warmth to any setting.

Montespertoli, the company’s historic headquarters, is nestled in the green Tuscan hills just a few kilometers from Florence, in a region renowned worldwide for its ceramic tradition. Over the centuries, this area has developed a unique artisanal culture, passed down through generations, which is still reflected today in the quality and beauty of the ceramics produced.

The story of Ceramiche Virginia is also a testament to resilience and adaptability, as demonstrated during the 1990s economic crisis that affected the Tuscan ceramics sector: the company faced the challenges with courage, reinventing itself and expanding its product range to conquer the Italian market with the Virginia Casa brand, reaffirming its international role.

Every piece signed by Ceramiche Virginia is a work of art that tells a story of passion, craftsmanship, and innovation. Tuscan artistic ceramics represent not only aesthetic value, but also cultural and social significance, connecting generations and people through the beauty and conviviality of the home.

By selecting high-quality materials and following meticulous artisanal processes, Ceramiche Virginia creates products that satisfy the most demanding tastes and refined trends, making each space unique and elegant. The combination of tradition and contemporary design is the secret to the company’s success, making it a reference point not only in Tuscany but around the world.

In summary, Ceramiche Virginia is one of the most significant players in Tuscan artistic ceramics, a symbol of authentic and high-quality Made in Italy, capable of combining history, innovation, craftsmanship, and aesthetic research to create decorative and everyday objects that endure and inspire.
