A.S.

You never know quite what you’ll find in the way of old prints and period objects here – a browse might turn up anything from an 18th-century engraving to an Art Deco-style poster from the 1930s.
Affaitati

One of Old Naples’ finest antiques shops. Specialities are furniture and ceramics from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Nativity figures are also on offer.

A tiny, cave-like shop that specializes in contemporary ceramic art.
Ceramiche d’Arte, Ravello

This workshop is the place to come for gorgeous ceramics decorated with traditional designs.
Ceramiche Solimene, Vietri sul Mare

Home to the world-famous Vietri dinnerware, where the bird design is used on plates, pitchers, sugar bowls – you name it.
Charcuterie Esposito

Come here for taralli (savoury-sweet biscuits), luscious olive oil, local wines and Setaro brand pasta, Naples’ best, handmade with basil, porcini mushrooms, lemon or cuttlefish ink.
Corallium, Anacapri

A coral and cameo factory in Torre del Greco. The selection is extraordinary, created with both silver and gold, and prices are excellent. A certificate of guarantee comes with every purchase.
Criscuolo, Amalfi

Here you’ll find a little bit of everything, all of it head and shoulders above the usual tourist trinkets. Coral necklaces with silver baubles and lapis lazuli or turquoise are particularly appealing.
