Antica Ceramics

We've been at No. 40 for a while now. It’s just a small spot where we keep all the tiles and pottery stuff. People usually stop by when they're fixing up a kitchen or maybe just need a new sink for a bathroom renovation. It gets a bit dusty in here because of the inventory, but that’s just how it is when you’re dealing with ceramics every day. We don't have a big fancy showroom or anything like that. It's mostly just piles of boxes and some samples laid out on the wooden tables so folks can see what they're getting. Sometimes the lights flicker a bit in the back corner, but we know where everything is kept. If you're looking for something specific, you usually have to ask because things aren't always labeled perfectly. It’s a bit of a maze sometimes. My cousin helps out on weekends when it gets busy, though most days it's pretty quiet. We try to keep the coffee pot going, even if the mugs are a bit chipped. It's funny how you end up with all the seconds for yourself while the good stuff goes out the door to customers. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop in town, just a place where you can find what you need without a lot of fuss. The street outside gets busy around five, so it's usually better to come in the morning if you want to chat about what's in stock. We just do our thing here and keep moving.
