The Round-Bellied Umbrella Stand, Antique Mother of Pearl, Gold and Lustre is shaped and decorated by hand by Ceramiche Sofia in Caltagirone. The round-bellied body rises toward a wide, flared neck; on the shoulder and at the base run friezes of volutes and lilies modeled in relief, and on the belly stands out a lozenge-shaped medallion with a large amber-colored sphere at the center. All around, amber-colored spheres and small gold spheres are applied. The surface is in antique mother of pearl, ivory with gray veils, and the rim and the foot are in copper-colored lustre.

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 .
