Testimonials
Simona M.
A large ceramics workshop that only churns out wonders. Beautiful decorations, beautiful designs.
I've had the pleasure of buying from them many times, from holy water fonts as favors for a baptism to various gifts and a few pieces for myself.
It's impossible not to buy their creations.
Giovanni M.
Excellent! I requested a custom painted dish and they did a very tasteful job, at a fair price, with great patience and punctuality.
They were also honest because I paid almost everything in advance without ever having met them.
Giovanna G.
I bought an ornamental pine cone for delivery. I first asked if the delivery would arrive before Christmas, and the response was very cordial and immediate. Everything arrived in a few days and in perfect condition. Highly recommended
Aldo A.
I purchased some exquisitely crafted and decorated items online, and later directly from the workshop.
I would like to highlight, in particular, not only their professionalism, but also their kindness and prompt communication.
Finally, the workshop visit was very interesting.
This artisanal company, located in the heart of Sicily, does excellent work and is worth a visit. It's a shame that the roads leading there, strewn with piles of rubbish, do not match the quality of its artisans.

I purchased an owl, an exceptional artifact.
I accidentally found this company and their website, and after being struck by the beauty of their products, I can only confirm their courtesy and great professionalism.
I received the order even earlier than expected, packaged with great care.
Highly Recommended.
I will certainly purchase again

Figures and objects beautifully sculpted with splendid colours and refined details. I ordered the 40 cm "Moor's head" in green-orange with pomegranate.
Very friendly and quick contact via email. All my questions were answered excellently and everything was explained.
The packaging was so good and secure that nothing happened during the journey to Germany.
Every day we are happy and smile when we look at the Testa di Moro.
Barbara T.
Good morning, I'm Barbara from Puglia and a few days ago I purchased a beautiful lamp online that I believe is a jewel of Sicilian craftsmanship, particularly from the Sofia company in Caltagirone. Special thanks go to Ms. Concetta and her staff for their exceptional assistance, professionalism, and kindness. Credit goes to the excellence of our "Made in Italy" products, and especially to our South. Thank you again.
Giuseppina B.
A few days ago I bought a lamp... I think beauty has taken shape and become 'light'.
I love ceramics, but I think this piece by Caltagirone Sofia sincerely expresses endless tradition.
Congratulations and thank you, because I have a piece of history from my beloved Sicily at home, passed down to new generations with elegance and respect. Giusy

A large ceramics workshop that only produces wonders. The decorations are beautiful, the forges are beautiful.
I have had the opportunity to stock up from them many times, from holy water fonts as favors for a baptism to various gifts and a few pieces for myself. It's impossible not to buy their manufactures.
