If you're looking for a unique souvenir to remember your visit to Maribor or a one-of-a-kind gift for friends or family, L Unikati is a great place to check out. Unikati is the Slovene word for 'unique', while the L stands for the Lucija – the local artist who creates the various ceramic wall hangings, figurines, jewellery, painted silk scarves and other items presented in this small shop just behind the Franciscan Church in the centre of the old town. While we're not historians of art, the predominant style of many pieces does seem influenced by Art Nouveau, while others are could be considered Naïve art or even Picassoesque. The online gallery will give you a good idea of what to expect, although it's best to stop by to get a better feel for the look and sizes of individual works (as well as prices).
