In the heart of Sicily, where the art of ceramics has ancient roots, La Testa di Moro (Moor's Head) is born, a unique expression of artisanal mastery that embodies the history and culture of Caltagirone. This splendid, handcrafted work of art represents not only a decorative object of rare beauty but also a piece of Sicilian history that continues to evolve over time.
The creation of each turban head is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, following ancient techniques passed down through generations. The process begins with the selection of the finest clay, which is masterfully molded into the vase. After an initial firing, the ceramic is hand-painted with vibrant colors, where blue and orange blend in a chromatic embrace evoking the warm hues of the Mediterranean. A second firing seals the colors, making each piece unique and one-of-a-kind.
Beyond its evident aesthetic beauty, the 25 cm tall Turban Moor's Head vase symbolizes the fusion between Caltagirone's ancient ceramic tradition and the innovation of contemporary design. The intense blue recalls the sky and sea that embrace Sicily, while the orange evokes the colors of the earth and the fruits that thrive under the island's sun. Together, these hues tell stories of travels, encounters, and cultural exchanges that have enriched Sicily over the centuries.

100% artisanal 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 .
