The Modern Turquoise series was born from the wish to bring the colour of the Sicilian sea to the Moor's Head: the bright turquoise that characterises the island's waters and has entered the collective imagination of contemporary Sicily.
All pieces are fire-signed, accompanied by a certificate of guarantee, and shaped and decorated by hand. Production times may vary depending on availability, as each product is made to order to ensure the utmost attention to detail and artisan uniqueness.
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 .
