The Cappello Prete Plate With Sailing Ship Blue and Orange unites the most iconic form of Caltagirone ceramic with one of the most evocative subjects in the Sicilian ceramic tradition: the sailing ship. On this 40 cm / 15¾" piece, hand-painted by the master ceramists of Sofia Ceramiche, the vessel sails in blue and orange — the colours of the Sicilian sea and sun — against a backdrop evoking the Mediterranean's skies and waters.
The sailing ship in Caltagirone ceramics carries a long tradition: a symbol of Sicily's bond with the sea, trade and openness to the world. Ideal for hanging in seaside spaces, Mediterranean-style interiors or homes of those who love Sicily and its relationship with water and the horizon.
Every piece is decorated by hand by the master ceramists of Caltagirone Sofia and fire-signed as a guarantee of artisan authenticity. Production times may vary as each piece is created to order.
The creation process of our ceramics is divided into various meticulously cared-for phases, ensuring that every finished product is a unique and eternal work of art.
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 .
