Pair of Moorish Heads with green pomi and Sicilian decoration, they are made and hand-painted by the master ceramicists of Caltagirone.
They stand out for the richness and originality of the decoration, for the beauty of the faces and details, combined with the brilliance of the colors and the velvety brightness of the ceramic.
They measure 20 cm in height
My emotion:
As a child, in the garden of my uncles' house in Palermo, adorning the entrance of the avenue covered by grapevines, there were succulent plants that protruded from red terracotta pots, shaped like Moorish Heads. Every time I passed by, I looked at them with a mix of unease and fascination. It seemed to me that a form of life had crystallized in those strange objects and that at any moment the Moorish Head could come to life and speak.
