The Testa di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Head) H 30 cm, Matte White is the most contemporary and tactile version of the large format in white monochrome: the matte finish, free of the conventional lustre of glazed ceramics, gives the sculpture a soft, almost tactile look that recalls unglazed ceramics and the most refined Scandinavian design. A piece of great formal purity.

The Matte White H 30 is the choice of those who love ceramics in their most contemporary guise: the matte finish gives the sculptural form back all its three-dimensional presence, without the reflection that distracts from the form itself.

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 .
