The Testa di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Head) H 25 cm with Lemons, Blue and Orange is one of the best-loved and most recognisable pieces of the Ceramiche Sofia collection in the classic format: the sculpted Sicilian lemons, the island's symbol par excellence, are modelled separately and applied one by one on the headdress, painted in the vivid deep blue and warm orange of the Caltagirone ceramic tradition. The result is a festive, Mediterranean and deeply Sicilian piece, in which figurative decoration and artisan tradition blend perfectly.

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 .
