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.
