The Medusa Head h 38 cm White Line by Ceramiche di Caltagirone Sofia is one of the most sculptural and contemporary interpretations in the Caltagirone ceramic repertoire. The subject is Medusa, a mythological figure present in Sicilian tradition since antiquity, where she stands at the centre of the Trinacria, rendered here in 38 cm of ceramic sculpture entirely in white: absolute white, with no added decoration, leaving the form to speak for itself. The serpentine hair, the features of the face and the crown of snakes emerge with sculptural force precisely because the total monochrome removes every chromatic distraction, turning the piece into something close to a gallery sculpture.
White Line is the Sofia Ceramiche line for those seeking the greatest formal rigour: pure glossy white brings out every detail of the hand modelling, makes the most of natural light and fits any setting, from the most contemporary interiors to the classic revisited in a minimalist key. In a large format such as the h 38, the White Line Medusa becomes a collector's piece of strong visual impact and rare, quiet elegance.
Every work is modelled and decorated by hand by the master ceramists of Caltagirone Sofia and is fire-signed as a guarantee of authentic craftsmanship. Production times may vary, since every piece is made to order.
