Does anyone know how to contact the pottery shop in Manarola? It is right below the central plaza where the artists like to set up to sketch. It features alot of pottery with lemons and pictures of Cinque Terre.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much!
Now I know, if you see something you want on vacation, you had better purchase it!

You're most welcome!
I did buy a beauiful piece of pottery (a spoon rest) while there that I just love! It is very colorful. I almost didn't thinking I would see italian pottery everywhere and as it turned out I didn't. I'm looking forward to a return trip this year!

Lucky you -- going back!
Our son is getting married, so we won't be going anywhere this year. Next year, maybe England or Scotland. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the information about the Manarola pottery shop. We have a young lady who lives in Florence who is going there in the next couple of months; and she has offered to pick us up a piece to remember Cinque Terre. We did the Venice, Florence, Rome 10-day tour with Rick Steves. I have been searching for 2 months for any information about the Manarola shop. My husband had taken a picture of the outside of the shop. I even tried contacting the hotel we stayed at to see if they had information. You are the answer to a prayer. I have seen Italian pottery online but I wanted something that had something unique to Cinque Terre. Of all our travels (we went to Cinque Terre 5 days before the Rick Steves Tour), I cannot wait until we can return to Cinque Terre. Again, many, many thanks.
