Bummulu Malandrinu H 25 Ornate Mono Blue - Caltagirone Ceramics
The Bummulu Malandrinu H 25 Ornato Mono Blu is a refined reinterpretation of an ancient Sicilian container, entirely handcrafted by the master ceramists of Caltagirone . Characterized by its monochromatic blue finish and embellished with artistic ornaments, this piece celebrates Sicilian tradition by combining functionality and decorative elegance.
The "Bummolo" has an ancient history that dates back to the 12th century and was born during the Arab domination in Sicily. Traditionally used to keep water cool thanks to a physical phenomenon linked to evaporation, it was also used as a container for oil and wine. Its ingenious structure with a perforated cylindrical base allows it to be turned upside down to be filled, keeping liquids fresh and effective even in conditions of intense heat.

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 .
