This Testa Di Moro vase is crafted by a family-run ceramic workshop in Sicily, where the tradition is passed down from grandparents to grandchildren. The vase stands 45 cm tall and is hand-painted in lemon yellow with decorative lemons and floral motifs surrounding the female face. Each vase bears the marks of the artisan’s brushstrokes, resulting in natural variations in color tones from vase to vase.
The ceramic is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so you can place it in the living room, on the balcony, or in the greenhouse without worry. Dinna from Dims Studio discovered these vases during a trip to Sicily, where she visited the workshop and met the family behind the production.
Care and Maintenance
Dust off with a soft cloth. For outdoor use, it is recommended to bring the vase indoors during frost periods to prevent cracks in the ceramic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Testa Di Moro vases and regular ceramic vases?
Testa Di Moro vases are a specific Sicilian tradition where the vases are shaped like heads (often men or women) and hand-painted with traditional patterns such as lemons, pomegranates, and flowers. Regular ceramic vases typically have classic vase shapes without faces.
Can the Testa Di Moro vase withstand frost if left outside?
No, the ceramic vase should be brought indoors during frost periods. Water can penetrate the pores of the ceramic and expand when frozen, which can cause cracks. The vase withstands rain and sun during the warmer months.
Can I use the Testa Di Moro vase for fresh flowers?
Yes, the vase is waterproof and can be used for fresh flowers or branches. However, many choose to use it as a sculpture without contents, as the face and decorations are the main attraction.
Is the Testa Di Moro vase a good gift for housewarmings or weddings?
Yes, it is a striking gift with cultural history behind it. The vase is a statement piece that is memorable, and the Sicilian background offers a great story to tell. Especially suitable for those who love the Mediterranean, Italy, or artisanal crafts.
Why are there color differences between Testa Di Moro vases?
Each vase is hand-painted by an artisan, so brushstrokes, color saturation, and shades naturally vary. This is a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship – no two vases are identical.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
