De Simone Pottery



"Thanks to the valued father's teachings, a worldwide famous potter artistically grown at the Faenza school, who first invented the famous De Simone red color and was awarded by several international prizes and recognitions, whose works are shown at the Rockefeller Center in New York, in the Pottery Museum in Faenza and in several private collections, the De Simone sisters keep on living this art that has already become a tradition in ceramics and develop their father's beloved Sicilian tales, meeting with an always wider and international favor. De Simone style-hand paintings with unleaded colors-imposes itself with cheerfulness and fancy, with its unique features, this fine pottery gives glamour to the people who present or receive it and to their homes." -De Simone's Showroom

The famous works of De Simone and family originate from Palermo. The factory and showrooms are headquartered in Palermo, however the De Simone ceramics are featured at Akatos in Acireale near Catania. The gallery is smaller than those in Palermo but showcases a wide variety of these famous ceramics. For those looking for unique and high quality ceramics pieces, De Simone is a must see.
