This Caltagirone Ceramic Face Box, Deep Blue is rectangular, open and without a lid, shaped by hand: on the front, the lower part of a face emerges, with the tip of the nose, full lips in relief and the dimple of the chin, and the walls have a soft, almost crumpled flow. The glossy deep blue glaze covers the whole piece and darkens in the folds of the modeling.

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 .
