This Caltagirone Bummulu Malandrinu (Sicilian trick jug), Antique Foliage, shaped and decorated by hand, is the traditional Sicilian jug: the drop-shaped body ends in a point at the top, with the handle on one side and a spout on the other, and it stands on a bell-shaped foot. On the ivory ground, green leaves, small yellow flowers and light blue volutes wind around a large yellow tulip; the point is painted with yellow and orange petals and a green tip, the handle and spout are green, and the foot repeats the leaves and flowers between green and blue bands. It can be filled with water, wine or other drinks. It is 25 cm (9¾") tall.

The creation process of our ceramics is divided into various meticulously cared-for phases, ensuring that every finished product is a unique and eternal work of art.
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 .
