The love of life, family, friends, and good food has inspired COSTA NOVA to create fine stoneware collections that combine quality and design with the best in ceramic craftsmanship. The brand produces innovative and sustainable stoneware, made from the best natural resources in Portugal. We embrace "handmade" and preserve our European heritage in the manufacture of our stoneware collections, bringing to the table and to the home unique and elegant pieces that suit today’s way of living perfectly and are able to last for generations. COSTA NOVA was born in a small Portuguese fishing village near the Atlantic Ocean. Today, carrying Portugal's name and heritage all over the world, COSTA NOVA is present across the five continents, in prestigious department stores and boutiques, hotels, and renowned restaurants. Using the best natural resources in Portugal, COSTA NOVA products are made in a single firing system heated up to 1180 degrees C (2160 degrees F), which creates a unique ceramic body with a special bonding between the clay and the glazed surface. This original formula explains why our stoneware is so durable and resistant to both thermal and mechanical shocks. In addition, our team of designers, technicians, modelers, and craftsmen is constantly developing original shapes, all the way to truly unique, designed, and handcrafted pieces. COSTA NOVA sees its products and operations as part of a long-life cycle and is committed to taking better care of the community and of the world. The effort to go green and to minimize our impact on the environment is always a work in progress. As producers, we commit ourselves daily to protecting the environment, avoiding unnecessary harm through the resources we use and the products we manufacture.

As its name suggests, the Cristal collection is inspired by the rich patterns found in the most sublime crystal craftsmanship. This tactile and sophisticated collection stands out from the ordinary and makes an impressive appearance on the table.

Curated with the combination of modern demands met with creative craftsmanship.

Distinctive coastal-inspired design. The warm breeze that blows from the east and cascades along the Algarve coast with fruity aromas and the fresh flavors of Ria Formosa was the inspiration for this collection. The blended white and blue glazes and organic shapes transport us to the intricate landscape of lagoons, canals, salt works, and sandy beaches stretching across deserted islands. This collection adds light to every gathering and turns any table into a memorable experience.

Designed by Vera Wang, this Lace rice dish is perfect for holding rice-inspired dishes and pairs with other pieces from the Lace range to create an elegant table setting, featuring a pattern that will be on everyone’s wish list.

Kit Kemp Sailor’s Farewell is the second collaboration between Wedgwood and renowned, award-winning interior designer Kit Kemp, whose style is about whimsical storytelling, color, and imagination. The collection is derived from a fabric she designed for Chelsea Textiles, inspired by a beautiful drawing by John Craxton depicting a Sailor’s wife waving farewell. Blending Kit’s love of craft and simple, lyrical folk art, the sailor’s loved one is waving goodbye on a rock with her scarf flying in the wind. As she waves, the witty motifs around each china piece show the sailor’s adventures on the high seas, both above and below the waterline. The rust-red sails of his sailing ship pass by whales and merfolk fishing, there are two little dogs alone on the high seas, seagulls flying above the lighthouse and the enticing sight of a house under a palm tree on a faraway desert island. Below is the depths is a frogman, a curious octopus, and the flashing fins of many fish. The delicate pale blue linen finish of the original fabric design is discernible on the tableware with a stronger blue and hand-applied lining around the rim.
