Production Times
All works are fire-signed, and hand-molded and decorated.
The production times for the product vary depending on availability and the complexity of the work. Each item is made to order, especially for you, following a artisanal process that values attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials. This approach allows us to offer you a unique product, which reflects the care and passion of true craftsmanship. Choosing a custom product means accepting slightly longer production times, but with the certainty of receiving an exclusive and unrepeatable item.
The Moor's Head Ottoman h 60 cm — Blue and Orange Decor is one of the most original and extraordinary pieces in Ceramiche Sofia's entire production: an artistic ceramic sculpture in the shape of a male Moor's Head that, thanks to its size and load-bearing structure, transforms into a functional piece of furniture to sit on, lean against, and live with. Entirely made of Caltagirone ceramic, decorated with the classic blue and orange contrast of the Sicilian ceramic tradition, it is both functional furniture and a work of art — a piece that literally brings Sicilian ceramic to the center of the room.
The Moor's Head Ottoman stems from an idea that Ceramiche Sofia courageously pursues: integrating handcrafted Caltagirone ceramic into functional furnishings, crossing the boundary between decorative art and livable design. The result is an exceptional piece of furniture for those who want to live with art, not just display it.

100% Handcrafted Ceramics
For almost 20 years, Sofia La Maiolica di Caltagirone has been dedicated to the artisanal production of unique majolica pieces, decorated and shaped 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 Eastern world where colors were produced by fusing kaolin-based glazes. The manufacturing process that leads to the creation of our ceramics is divided into six important phases:
Turning, Drying, First Firing, Glazing, 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 characteristic of purchasing a non-industrial product is precisely this: owning a unique product.
