The Medusa Head h 38 cm White Line by Ceramiche di Caltagirone Sofia is one of the most sculptural and contemporary interpretations in the Caltagirone ceramic repertoire. The subject is Medusa, a mythological figure present in Sicilian tradition since antiquity, where she stands at the centre of the Trinacria, rendered here in 38 cm of ceramic sculpture entirely in white: absolute white, with no added decoration, leaving the form to speak for itself. The serpentine hair, the features of the face and the crown of snakes emerge with sculptural force precisely because the total monochrome removes every chromatic distraction, turning the piece into something close to a gallery sculpture.
White Line is the Sofia Ceramiche line for those seeking the greatest formal rigour: pure glossy white brings out every detail of the hand modelling, makes the most of natural light and fits any setting, from the most contemporary interiors to the classic revisited in a minimalist key. In a large format such as the h 38, the White Line Medusa becomes a collector's piece of strong visual impact and rare, quiet elegance.
Every work is modelled and decorated by hand by the master ceramists of Caltagirone Sofia and is fire-signed as a guarantee of authentic craftsmanship. Production times may vary, since every piece is made to order.
The process of creating our ceramics unfolds in various meticulously curated phases, ensuring that every finished product is a unique and timeless work of art.
100% Handcrafted Ceramics
For almost 20 years, Sofia La Maiolica di Caltagirone has been dedicated to the artisanal production of unique majolica pieces, decorated and shaped 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 Eastern world where colors were produced by fusing kaolin-based glazes. The manufacturing process that leads to the creation of our ceramics is divided into six important phases:
Turning, Drying, First Firing, Glazing, 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 characteristic of purchasing a non-industrial product is precisely this: owning a unique product.
