Inspired by "fortuna," Italian for "luck," Fortunata is a company dedicated to offering the finest quality ceramics hand-crafted using a secret and time-honored process. Each piece captures the tradition and charm of the ancient Tuscan workshops where the ceramics are skillfully hand thrown using a unique mixture of select clays and prepared for firing in wood-burning kilns. It is this unique clay mixture that gives Fortunata ceramics a distinctive look, feel and durability like no other. Evidence of handcrafted work includes the slight color and size variations making the pieces truly one-of-a-kind and highly collectable. Perhaps the most important feature of the Fortunata collection is the unique, heavily distressed, antique look created by uneven glazing.  You can be confident that when you select a Fortunata product, you possess a work of art that will reward and please you for years to come.
