The Testa di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Head) Ottoman H 60 cm, Blue and Orange Decoration is one of the most original and extraordinary pieces in the entire Ceramiche Sofia production: an art ceramic sculpture in the shape of a male Moor's Head which, thanks to its size and load-bearing structure, becomes a functional furnishing piece to sit on, lean on, live with. Made entirely of Caltagirone ceramic and decorated with the classic blue and orange contrast of the Sicilian ceramic tradition, it is functional furniture and a work of art at the same time, a piece that brings Sicilian ceramics literally to the centre of the room.
The Moor's Head Ottoman comes from an idea that Ceramiche Sofia pursues with courage: bringing Caltagirone artisan ceramics into functional furniture, crossing the line between decorative art and liveable design. The result is an exceptional furnishing piece for those who want to live with art, not just display it.

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 .
