Since we introduced them to the North American market back in 2010, these exceptionally exquisite Moorish Sicilian Head Vases have gained widespread recognition and popularity, largely attributed to their prominent feature in the White Lotus 2022 HBO TV series.
The Micale di Arcireale Collection features traditional Moorish Head Vases of Sicily (in Italian: Teste di Moro) that are fancy plant pots adorned with regional fruits such as lemons and Baroque bass relief motifs.
These Moorish Heads are traditionally placed atop gateposts or in outdoor gardens but nowadays they are mostly used as interior decorating pieces and became unique ''conversation pieces''.
When the Moors invaded Sicily in the 11th century, they built ceramics workshops and taught majolica, which spread across the island.
Arcireale, near Catania, is renowned for its ceramics. Its popularity is due to fresh clay from Sicilian valleys & mountains, containing unique silicates.
