Best Sellers In The Hamptons, Long Island, NY By Diane Roncone

O*Suzanna in Westhampton Beach

The globetrotting owner of O*Suzanna, Suzanne Marchisello, travels to Italy regularly to find gorgeous, high-quality ceramic pieces. She visits 26 small factories run by individual families, some who’ve been doing this work from the 1600s. She even has Italian artisans hand-paint Tuscan country scenes onto some of the pieces that she sells. Known throughout the Hamptons as one of the best resources for quality Italian pottery, her store offers a myriad of unique and striking products, from hammered-look silver bowls and trays inlaid with breathtaking mother-of-pearl to handcrafted Italian jewelry and Venetian chandeliers.
