WHY BUY SOFIA DI CALTAGIRONE CERAMICS.

Therefore each object rigorously follows 6 long manufacturing stages, to which we dedicate the utmost care in every detail so that the final product is the result of a unique, inimitable and unaltered work over time. 

1) Turning and modeling: to give shape to the majolica, a process carried out by hand and Not with molds.

2) Drying: Slow, gradual and natural drying without temperature changes, in order to expel all the water contained in the clay,

3) First cooking: With ovens that reach temperatures estimated at approximately 1000° for 13 hours.

4) Enamelling: The products acquire a totally white color based on oxides and kaolin,

     Ready to pass into the hands of decorators who will give color and style to the creations.

5) Decoration:  The Decorative phase is characterized by giving style to our creations with shades of colors studied and created by us in the laboratory. Colors, shapes and style are the goal to make our SOFIA brand personal.

6) Second cooking: LThe most important phase where everything cooked at the established temperatures acquires     

shine and brightness, thus enhancing shapes and colors.

   Through particular techniques, the chiaroscuro is highlighted on the crystallized effect of the majolica, inspired by the great master CARAVAGGIO.

  A third phase of black color is then used, thus making our ceramics even more characteristic with a particular reference to the classic style of Caltagirone majolica; always associated with our ideas we give notes and colors that can link the classic with the modern.

Therefore our laboratory is in Caltagirone and all our creations are punched with our brand on the base and fire-signed. 

To certify that every single object has gone through the six processing phases that make it authentic and unalterable over time and which has passed rigorous quality controls.

For this reason the ceramic objects of Caltagirone SOFIA are real artwork.

Caltagirone: city of ceramics

The name Caltagirone derives from the Arabic term Qal?at al Ghiran, which means ?Rocca dei Vases ?.

Ceramic manufacturing in the Caltagirone area dates back to the Neolithic. 

The imprint of the various peoples who have colonized Sicily over the centuries can also be perceived in the ceramic processing, despite this, ceramists have always brought out the Sicilian character in their art.

The art of Sicilian ceramic manufacturing has been handed down from generation to generation.

The peculiarities of the product depend on the skills of the master ceramist, his creativity and attention to detail, which is a guarantee of the exclusivity of the piece.

Our majolica can be glazed, hand painted or with relief plastic decorations as you see in these photos
