This is my favorite ceramic place in Nove. They are the creators of so many beautiful designs sold to big companies all over the world. Their spoon rests make amazing gifts to take back to the states, and they will wrap, pack, and box anything in a shipping box for 5 euro. The don't speak much English, but are used to many westerners shopping in their store. The accommodate and work with you as best as they can. If you are looking for Tiffany, Lenox, etc... you will find it there. The adorable piggie banks for kids are just under 20 euro and you can find them online for $100. That gives you an idea of the price difference. The price gap isn't that much on everything, but it's worth the visit to find out for yourself if they have something you'd like to take back home. read more

La Ceramica VBC - Stoneware - Home & Garden Near Me - Nove, Virgin Islands

#290-2016: Nove is reknown around the world for its amazing ceramic production, and this store is an institution among retailers. Upon growing up and feeling the need to purchase a set of plates to be used for formal dining, mind inevitably races towards Richard Ginori, Tiffany's and such. Look no further for this establishment serves exactly what you have been looking for at an extremely convenient price! I have toured the premises countless times with many of my international friends and each time we felt like a kid in a candy store. Walking away with an entire set for a fraction of the cost makes your heart tingle with joy. The selection is so vast that it may prove challenging to make up your mind in a timely manner. What I was literally in love with is the olives pattern: very rustic and yet much poshy. If I have to find a negative side is the shipping cost, it may prove to be too much if you purchase too many smaller items for it is by item and not by size. Other than that, with discounted items piling up in the back of the store and countless options (from classics to super colorful) I am sure there will be plenty choices for everyone. read more

Have you ever looked at high-end dinner plate sets at Macy's or whatever and then laughed and laughed at how ridiculously expensive they are? And then in the next instant realized you will never throw a fancy dinner party and will only ever have regular not fancy dinner parties where everyone eats off Ikea plates and watches movies in your living room? Well now you can throw a party worthy of sitting at a table with a centerpiece you found on Martha Stewart's pinterest board. La Ceramica V.B.C. carries an abundant and beautiful assortment of dinner sets for a tiny fraction of the cost of U.S. retail. If you don't mind a tiny chip in your teacup, look in the back and get one for like 2 euro. Want a Tiffany & Co. piggy bank for the princess in your life? Get that sucker at like 90% off retail. Seriously. It's insane. You can also buy these beautiful pitchers with Italian scenes painted on them, candy dishes shaped like fall leaves, and any number of decorative items to send back home. They will pack everything for shipping at 5 euro a piece. It's a bargain. I tried to pack some stuff myself and paid way more for the peanuts. read more

We bought pieces while visiting Nove. We were so pleased we ordered several more pieces for shipment to US. All pieces arrived in perfect condition. The shipping was expensive for 2 boxes but well worth the total cost considering what it cost to purchase in the US. I hightly recommend this factory. Make it a point to stop there if you are visiting the Veneto region. You can browse for hours. read more

We recently toured their facility, and others in Nove. The products and variety was the best in the area. However, you should only buy what you can carry. We had several products shipped to USA and 2 were cracked and 2 others totally smashed in what was poorly packaged shipping box. And despite assurance that the shipping was insured, our efforts to get repalcements products were denied - "we'd be pleased to ship you replacements if you pay for the product and shipping". It's the first time in 6 trips to Italy that Caveat Emptor (buyer beware) was expereinced and prompted this entry. read more
