About La Porcellana

History, Heritage, Quality & Value

La Porcellana was founded in 1979 by Gaby Grandi & Bruno Costa (Co-founder of Costa Coffee).

Utilising their vast experience and enduring passion for the hospitality industry, they sought to offer the fastest and most cost-effective production for personalised tableware throughout the UK.

Then...
