From splattered plates that line the tables of trattorias to the Teste di Moro peering down from every balcony to the ubiquitous pigna (pine cones) symbolizing vitality, good health, and luck, ceramics are everywhere in Sicily. 

The island’s clay–unique for its distinct combination of silicates–has produced high-quality ceramics celebrated worldwide for centuries. Fueled by passionate, poetic storytelling, Sicilian ceramica has been passed down through generations since the Neolithic age.
