Ceramika Maltija Logo

Ceramika Maltija is Malta’s oldest working pottery and it traces its roots back to Contino Catelletti’s pottery which started in Ta’ Qali in the 1920s. It was moved to Villa Bologna from Ta’Qali during the war.  It was first located in Lord Strickland’s old workshop and then it moved to Lady Strickland’s stables.


The pottery flourished in the 60s and 70s and many of Malta’s most prominent artists and sculptors trained at the Ceramika Maltija.  However over the last few decades Ceramika Maltija has been less active and suffered from declining sales.  In 2009 a new management team decided to embark on an ambitious regeneration programme with a view to restoring Ceramika Maltija’s prominence on the Maltese craft scene.  The regeneration includes an investment in new machinery, human resources and marketing.
The new logo was developed out of a number of conversations we had with the owner, Jasper de Trafford. Clean contemporary type married with bold graphic stencil has created a functional, yet beautiful image. As part of a long term commitment to supporting the arts and crafts in Malta the work was provided pro bono.
