The Medusa Head Vase h 38 cm / 15¾" White Line by Ceramiche di Caltagirone Sofia is one of the most sculptural interpretations of the Caltagirone ceramic repertoire. The subject is the Medusa — a mythological figure central to the Sicilian Trinacria — rendered in 38 cm of ceramic sculpture entirely in white: absolute white with no added decoration, letting the form speak for itself. The serpentine hair and crown of serpents emerge with plastic force precisely because total monochromy eliminates every chromatic distraction, creating an almost gallery-worthy sculptural object.
White Line is the Sofia Ceramiche line for those who seek maximum aesthetic rigour: pure glossy white enhances every hand-modelled detail and integrates with any interior. In the h 38 cm / 15¾" format, the Medusa White Line becomes a collector's piece of strong visual impact and rare silent elegance.
Every piece is modelled and decorated by hand by the master ceramists of Caltagirone Sofia and fire-signed as a guarantee of artisan authenticity. Production times may vary as each piece is created to order.
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 .
