Antiche Fornaci D'Agostino can place itself among the factories, which has determined the history of Italian ceramics.

Since its founding at the beginning of the 1800's, they have sustained a process of industrialization of workmanship for the cotto of Vietri, as well as research in various styles including the "Maiolica Napoletana" from the 1600's and 1700's, that still today is included among the creative repertoire of the factory.
In 1993, the Antiche Fornaci D'Agostino has been created an exclusive mixture called Magmaker® compounded by volcanic lava and ceramic clay.
This material is the support, made in various forms, which characterises the ceramic production of this factory about its special resistance to freezing temperatures, cavil and acidic substances. This resistance is for glazes and decorations too, which conserve the hand-made style of the typical ceramic art from Vietri, thanks to the application of exclusive techniques of glazing and decoration studied in the laboratory of this factory for the technological innovation research of ceramic materials.
