The Testa di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Head) H 30 cm, Black and Gold with Expression is the most intense and theatrical version of Ceramiche Sofia's large luxury format: the deep black with pure gold details is joined by a face with a marked expression, modelled and painted by hand, with carefully sculpted lips and features, which gives the piece a powerful narrative presence as well as an aesthetic one. A piece that is not just beautiful: it tells a story.

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 .
