This Caltagirone Ceramic Owl Potiche h 30 cm (11¾"), Fire Red combines the shape of the potiche with that of the owl, a symbol of wisdom and protection in Sicilian tradition: the rounded body is the vase, the owl's head serves as the lid and on the sides two large applied wings curl into scrolls; at the base, shells and curls shaped and applied by hand. Everything is glazed in glossy fire red, with the reliefs turning lighter at the edges.

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 .
