This Extra Large Caltagirone Holy Water Font, Madonna of the Goldfinch brings the devotion of Caltagirone's artisan ceramics into the home in its largest size: the composition is that of Raphael's Madonna of the Goldfinch, with the Madonna in a landscape with trees and a book in her hand and, in front of her, the Christ Child and the young Saint John passing the goldfinch to each other. The scene is hand-painted in the Mono Blue decoration, in blue on an ivory ground, with lightly tinted flesh tones and small touches of ochre on the scroll frame.

100% Handcrafted Ceramic
For almost 20 years Sofia La Maiolica of Caltagirone has been involved in the artisanal production of unique majolica pieces, decorated and modeled by hand. They are inspired by the classic style of Caltagirone ceramics from all eras, made with unique glazes that recall the origins of the oriental world in which the colors were produced by the fusion of kaolin-based glazes. The manufacturing process that leads to the creation of our ceramics is divided into six important phases:
Turning, Drying, First firing, Enamelling, Decoration and Aging .
For each of these phases we dedicate the utmost care to every detail so that the final product is the result of a unique, inimitable and unaltered work over time. The main feature of purchasing a non-industrial product is precisely this: owning a unique product .
