Handmade Italian Ceramics • Near Venice
Rina Menardi transforms clay through proportion, colour and a distinctly sculptural approach to form.
From tall statement vases and organic bowls to trays, decorative plates and ceramic wall art, each piece carries the individuality of handmade production.
RB12’s Rina Menardi collection spans 20 designs across several product families.
The Brand
Handmade ceramics with a quietly architectural sensibility.
Rina Menardi began researching ceramics in 1980 and established the company with Valter Milanese in 1995. The collection balances defined silhouettes with softness, movement and subtle surface variation.

Four ways into the collection
Rina Menardi Vases
Angeli
Tall, curvaceous and deliberately restrained, Angeli is the sort of ceramic that can stand alone as a sculptural object.
Its vertical proportions make it especially useful on consoles, sideboards and in larger entrance spaces.
Explore AngeliThe Vase Edit
Different silhouettes, one ceramic language
Agape
Fuller proportions for tables, islands and sideboards.
Cenote
A softer vessel family available in bowl-like and taller interpretations.
Torri
Architectural forms designed to work individually or as a composition of related sizes.
Clio
Multiple scales make Clio particularly suited to grouped arrangements and shelving.
Rina Menardi Colours
The same form changes completely through colour.
Use muted clay and cream when silhouette should lead. Choose aquamarine, bronze or a darker finish when the ceramic should carry more visual weight.
Rina Menardi Bowls & Plates
Campanelle & Campanella
The spiral language carries across different formats, turning functional tabletop ceramics into sculptural centrepieces.
Rina Menardi Bowl
Campanelle
A flowing spiral bowl available in several sizes, bringing movement and sculptural character to dining tables, consoles and kitchen islands.
Rina Menardi Plate
Campanella
A lower-profile interpretation of the same flowing ceramic language, ideal for dining tables, kitchen islands and consoles.
The Art of the Centrepiece
Low forms for contemporary furniture
Trottole
A low sculptural form that works beautifully on wide dining tables, coffee tables and contemporary consoles.
Vortici

Fonti Platter

Ellissi

Rina Menardi Trays

Barchette Narrow & Wide
Elongated ceramic forms designed for long dining tables, consoles, coffee tables and kitchen islands, where a low decorative object can add interest without interrupting sightlines.
Rina Menardi Wall Art
The ceramic language moves onto the wall.
Portali, Oblò and four Craquelè finishes extend Rina Menardi’s interest in texture, colour and handmade surface beyond the tabletop and onto the wall.
Styling Guide
Give every piece enough room to breathe.
One statement object
Let a large Angeli stand alone rather than surrounding it with accessories.
Use colour deliberately
Repeat an existing tone in the room or let one ceramic provide a controlled accent.
