Italy is a favorite vacation destination here on Apartment Therapy. If you can't make it overseas this summer, perhaps you can visit Bethesda Row, where Bella Italia stocks ceramics, artwork, cookbooks, and food direct from Italy. The store carries ceramics in a wide range of pattern and color options. More photos and info below the jump...
The store website includes a gift registry. Prices are generally reasonable, though many items are currently on sale,

This is a great shop...they had/have an awesome collection of Deruta ware. Glad to see it is alive and kickin' -- given the economy. Haven't visited this shop since 2005. (Am living in Texas, so I don't go "back home" to the DC area very often.)
In fact, this whole strip of downtown Bethesda is awesome, especially the restaurants.
