The Ceramica Francesco De Maio was chosen by the Ponti’s heirs as the exclusive licensee for the re-edition of the 33 white and blue decorations and now, after almost sixty years later, produces and sells, in world exclusive, the Blue Ponti Collection.
A reproduction of the Blu Ponti majolica tiles so faithful for the glaze, colors, decorations and the thickness of the '60s that has recognized to the Ceramica Francesco De Maio the valuable use of the signature of this architect, a proponent of the industrial design and great appreciator of the craftsmanship.
