The Female Moor's Head with Decoro Sicily is a prestigious piece of craftsmanship, made entirely by hand by the master ceramists of Ceramiche Sofia. This sculpture reinterprets the female figure of the baroque tradition in a contemporary key, distinguished by the absence of the classic crown, which lengthens the figure and draws the eye to the sumptuous drapery and the rich modelled appliqués. The work holds the excellence of Caltagirone manufacture, with a glossy crystalline finish that brings out the vividness of the pigments and makes every detail an exclusive work of art.

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.
