The Caltagirone Sognia Head Lamp, Matte Face turns the Sognia female head into a table lamp: the dark, matte face, with closed eyes and a serene smile, is wrapped in a turban with a rose-shaped knot in the antique mother-of-pearl finish. On her earlobes she wears large gold hoop earrings, and on her neck a pendant of golden and amber beads. The head is shaped and decorated by hand by Ceramiche Sofia.

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 .
