The Moor's Head with Turban Medusa h 25 cm — Wisteria Luster is one of the rarest and most poetic pieces in the Ceramiche Sofia collection: the shape of the draped turban is enhanced by the iconography of Medusa — a symbol of protection in Sicilian tradition — in the Wisteria Luster version, an iridescent finish in shades of lilac and pearly white that evokes clusters of wisteria in bloom. A piece of extraordinary visual delicacy and cultural depth.

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.
