Double-Faced Sicilian Testa di Moro Vase – Handmade Caltagirone Ceramic Head

Opis produktu

Discover a truly distinctive piece of Sicilian ceramic art: a double-faced Testa di Moro vase, handmade and hand-painted in Sicily.

Unlike a traditional Moor’s Head with one decorated face, this unique ceramic sculpture features a female face on both sides. The double-sided design makes the piece beautiful from every viewing angle and ideal for displaying on an open shelf, table, kitchen island, console, or bookcase.

The two faces are surrounded by richly sculpted Sicilian fruit, including colorful grapes, citrus fruits, and leaves. A bright yellow crown completes the traditional design, while the open top allows the piece to be used as a small vase, planter, or decorative holder.

• Covered terraces
• Holiday-home interiors

  Handmade artisan notice

  Every piece is individually handmade and hand-painted by Sicilian artisans. Small differences in brushstrokes, colors, facial details, glazing, and dimensions are natural features of authentic artisan ceramics. These variations make every ceramic head one of a kind.

  Care instructions
