The culture of creating this beauty from clay is more than 4 thousand years old.

Throughout history, with every wave of emigration, new people have brought techniques for processing and decorating household utensils to Sicily. Foreign masters shared secrets, so today in what we know under the sign of Sicilian ceramics lies a cultural layer: from the Greek to the Muslim conquests of the island.

Plates, jugs, tiles of bright colors are bought by tourists and locals alike. Such works of art cost from 20 to 100 euros. They adorn the facades of houses, apartments, city streets. Each such detail brings heat and brightness to the atmosphere of the room.
