The art of Sicilian pottery making - How native artisans make the most traditional ceramic artwork!

#sicilianpottery #homedecor #ceramicdiningaccessories
Dear Sicily Lover,
in this episode you'll discover the art of pottery making.
We are excited to introduce you to Biagio, Daniela and Silvana and share their story with you.
Sicily has a millenary tradition in the production of ceramics. Some of the terra-cotta objects date back to the Neolithic period (8000 years ago).
Maiolica and terra-cotta goods have been produced for centuries and today Sicilian pottery is among the best-known and appreciated in the world.
We’re proud in displaying you Biagio's authentic decorative Sicilian pottery. Here, you can see the famous Sicilian ceramic heads, known as the “Teste di Moro”, or Moors’ Heads.
He also decorates serving dishes, cups, bowls, and dining table accessories, decorative plates, ceramic prickly pears, pine cones (a talisman since the Roman age) and of course our gorgeous “Trinacria”, a mythical representation of a three legged Medusa which has served as the symbol of Sicily since ancient times.
All of Biagio's Sicilian ceramics are handmade and hand-painted.
All artworks respect the traditional Sicilian style and are decorated with exquisite floral patterns, bright colors and beautiful geometric motifs.
These authentic Sicilian ornaments will fill your home with joyful colors and our passion for life!
Of course Biagio is one of the skillful artisans involved in our Sicily Lover project.
