This Caltagirone Decorative Ceramic Tower, Plastico Sofia Antique Mother of Pearl, Gold and Lustre is shaped and decorated by hand: a hollow cylinder, 25 cm (9¾") tall and open at the top, ending in a crown-shaped rim made of points, volutes and curls with small shells in relief. Around the body run two friezes of volutes and lilies applied in relief, alternating with small spheres in coral red and gold; below the crown there is a coral red band between two gold bands, and the base is a coral red ring lined with gold. The ivory ground is antiqued with a brown patina that brings out the reliefs.

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 .
