The Caltagirone Large Male Lumiera (figurative candle holder), Mother of Pearl, Gold and Lustre is one of the most typical figures of Caltagirone artisan ceramics: a bearded gentleman in period dress, with a top hat, a long coat and a walking stick, in the antique mother-of-pearl finish, with gold details and small red and turquoise embellishments. The top of the hat serves as a candle holder: every Large Lumiera is at once a ceramic sculpture, a candle holder and a piece of Sicilian cultural identity with great presence.

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 .
