When I found this radiant little dish, its bright colors and the way it felt immediately caught my attention. I loved it instantly. After a closer look, I discovered that this little dish had come all the way from Caltagirone, a town that is the heart of Sicily’s ceramic tradition and a place where pottery has been made the same way for nearly a thousand years. This UNESCO-recognized craft showcases each curve, flourish, and stroke of color that is painted by hand. The deep cobalt blues, sun kissed golds, and dramatic baroque swirls are a quintessential part of Sicilian architecture and folklore.
It is a rare piece with a vibrant presence. Use it as a jewelry dish, a bedside catchall, or simply let it sit out as a piece of art. However you style it, it brings forward that Italian warmth and old world charm. I hope it brings the same joy into your home that it brought me when I found it.
