This Caltagirone Bummulu Malandrinu (Sicilian trick jug), Mono Blue, shaped and decorated by hand, is the traditional Sicilian jug: the drop-shaped body ends in a point at the top, with the handle on one side and a spout on the other, and it stands on a bell-shaped foot. On the ivory ground, large blue volutes and acanthus leaves open out around a small central motif, with light blue washes; the point, the handle, the spout and the foot are also decorated in blue. It can be filled with water, wine or other drinks. It is 25 cm (9¾") tall.

100% Handcrafted 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 .
