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.
Main Features
- Material: High-quality art ceramic, entirely hand-modelled and hand-decorated
- Dimensions: Height 30 cm / 11¾", width approximately 22 cm / 8¾"
- Decoration: Matte White, white monochrome glaze with a matte finish, without crystalline lustre
- Finish: Matte, a soft white surface that absorbs light instead of reflecting it; a visual effect of great refinement
- Design: Contemporary Scandi, ideal for all-white, minimal or Japandi interiors, or for those who prefer matte ceramics to traditional glazed ones

- Unique Craftsmanship: Each piece is fire-signed and comes with a certificate of guarantee
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.
All pieces are fire-signed, accompanied by a certificate of guarantee, and shaped and decorated by hand. Each piece is made to order in 3 to 4 weeks, then shipped quickly with insurance.
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 .
