The vase is hand-painted ceramic by Italian artisans who have perfected the technique through three generations since 1965. Because each vase is hand-painted, your vase will have small unique variations in color tones and brushstrokes – a testament to authentic craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTesta Di Moro means 'Moorish heads' and originates from an old Sicilian tale of love and betrayal. Traditionally, the vases are sold in pairs on the streets of Palermo: an older man and a young woman. This version shows the man with lemons – Sicily’s iconic fruit – and flowers painted in warm Mediterranean colors. The ceramic is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe with a damp cloth.
