Caltagirone Ceramics, from Our Workshop
We have been making Caltagirone ceramics since 2002. The founders are two brothers, Nicola and Giuseppe Intonato, who started out in a workshop of 30 square meters. Today our workshop is in Via Balchino 16bis, and a new generation works alongside them. We tell where this craft comes from in our article on the history of Caltagirone ceramics.
Every work is hand-shaped and hand-painted, fired twice, fire-signed and comes with a certificate of guarantee. In our catalog you will find Teste di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Heads), Sicilian pine cones, Caltagirone ceramic vases, ceramic lamps, holy water fonts, raised stands and centerpieces, decorative plates and Caltagirone nativity scenes. The decorations follow the classic colors of Caltagirone ceramics, alongside more modern lines.
Made-to-order works are ready in 3 to 4 weeks. If you need one sooner, see our Ready to Ship collection. Every shipment is insured, and in Italy shipping is free on orders of €100 or more.
We are members of the Association of Ceramic Producers of Caltagirone and of CNA Catania. You can buy our Caltagirone ceramics online or see them in our showroom at Corso Principe Amedeo di Savoia 13, Caltagirone, open every day from 10:00 to 19:30.

Testimonials
Simona M.
A great ceramic workshop that creates only marvels. Beautiful decorations, beautiful forms.
I have stocked up from them many times: from holy water fonts as baptism favors to various gifts and a few pieces for myself.
It is impossible not to buy their creations.
Giovanni M.
Excellent! I asked for a custom painted plate and they did a work of great taste, at a fair price, with great patience and punctuality.
Also honest because I paid almost everything in advance without having ever met them.
Giovanna G.
I bought an ornamental pine cone with remote delivery. I first asked if delivery would arrive before Christmas and the response was extremely cordial and immediate. Everything arrived in a few days and in perfect condition. Highly recommended.
Aldo A.
I purchased some objects of fine workmanship and decoration online and subsequently at the same laboratory.
I particularly underline, in addition to professionalism, kindness and timeliness in communication.
Finally, the visit to the laboratory was interesting.
This artisan company, in the center of Sicily, works well and is worth a visit. It's a shame that the roads to get there, littered with piles of rubbish, are not up to the quality of its craftsmen.
Maria Grazia S.
Ho acquistato una civetta, manufatto eccezionale.
Ho trovato per caso questa azienda ed il loro sito e dopo essere stata colpita dalla bellezza dei loro manufatti non posso che confermerane la cortesia e grande professionalità.
Ho ricevuto l'ordine anche prima del previsto, confezionato con grande cura.
Super Consigliato.
Acquisterò nuovamente di certo

Beautifully sculpted figures and objects with gorgeous colors and exquisite details. I ordered the 40cm dark brown woman in green-orange with pomegranate.
Very friendly and fast contact via email. All my questions were answered excellently and everything was explained.
The packaging was so nice and safe that nothing happened on the way to Germany.
Every day we are happy and smile when we look at Testa di Moro.
Barbara T.
Good morning, I'm Barbara from Puglia and a few days ago I purchased a splendid lamp online which I believe is a jewel of Sicilian craftsmanship and in particular from the Sofia company of Caltagirone. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Concetta and her work staff who looked after me in an exceptional manner with great availability, professionalism and kindness. Thanks to the excellence of our Made in Italy and above all to our South. Thanks again
Giuseppina B.
A few days ago I purchased a lamp... I think that beauty has taken shape and has become 'light'.
I love ceramics but I think this one from Caltagirone Sofia sincerely expresses the endless tradition.
Congratulations and thank you because I have a piece of history of my beloved Sicily at home, passed on to the new generations with elegance and respect. Giusy
