De Simone

Frommer's Review

For majolica-style stoneware, this old favorite, a family-run business, has been producing quality ware since the 1920s. It also offers some of the most tasteful ceramics and finest tiles in Palermo. Most tiles are painted with scenes of Sicilian country life, including seascapes and bird-filled landscapes. Also for sale are porcelain dinner and tea services, along with ceramic chandeliers. While visiting the shop, you can inquire about visits to the factory at Via Lanza di Scalea 960 (tel. 091-6711005), open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.
