Hand-painted Italian Borgo Antico by Vietri ceramic soap dish landscape c.1948

Vietri Incanto, often referred to as Borgo Antico, is a line of Italian ceramics known for its artisanal quality and traditional designs. The company was founded in 1983, but the "Borgo Antico" style, featuring hand-painted landscapes and architectural motifs, draws inspiration from classic Italian pottery traditions that date back much further. Many pieces in this style were produced by various Italian ceramic manufacturers throughout the 20th century.

Società Ceramica Italiana (SCI) was a significant Italian ceramics manufacturer, and pieces produced by them, especially from the mid-20th century, are often sought after by collectors. The period around 1948 in Italy was a time of rebuilding and renewed artistic production, with many factories returning to or developing new lines of decorative and functional ceramics that celebrated Italian heritage and craftsmanship.
