This Testa Di Moro vase is handmade in Italy using authentic Sicilian methods dating back to 1965. The maker follows the motto "nothing's too much" – clearly visible in the intricate details of the chili and garlic wreath surrounding the female figure. Each vase carries three generations of experience in traditional Sicilian ceramic craftsmanship from Palermo.
Testa Di Moro means "Moorish heads" and refers to a classic Italian tale of love and betrayal. Traditionally, the vases are sold as pairs – an older man and a young woman – but this one is available individually. The vase works both as a flower vase and as a sculptural decoration on its own.
Care and maintenance
Wipe with a damp cloth. The vase can hold water inside for fresh flowers, but avoid submerging the entire figure in water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Testa Di Moro vases and regular ceramic vases?
Testa Di Moro vases are shaped like human heads and follow a specific Sicilian tradition from Palermo, where each vase tells a cultural story. Regular ceramic vases typically have cylindrical or round shapes without figurative decoration.
Can the Testa Di Moro vase hold fresh flowers with water?
Yes, the vase is functional and can contain water for fresh flowers. Make sure the water stays inside the head, and avoid dipping the entire figure.
How do I place a 30 cm Testa Di Moro vase in my home?
At 30 cm tall, the vase fits well on the kitchen counter, windowsill, or a shelf. It pairs nicely with Italian elements like olive trees, cookbooks, or next to herbs.
Is the Testa Di Moro vase a good housewarming gift for Italy lovers?
Yes, the vase is an authentic gift for those who love Italian culture, food, or ceramics. It carries a genuine Sicilian tradition and is both decorative and practical.
Do Testa Di Moro vases have to be bought as a pair?
Traditionally, they are sold as pairs (man and woman), but this vase can be purchased individually. You can add the opposite figure later if you want the classic pair setup.
