Sicilian pine cones , or better yet, Caltagirone pine cones by Crita, are shaped and painted entirely by hand by our master craftsmen. They are a symbol of Sicily and Caltagirone ceramics, and we offer them in three sizes—10cm, 15cm, and 20cm—with the unique and sophisticated colors of our collections.

The pine cone has been a symbol of Caltagirone ceramics and Sicily for centuries.

It embodies the sense of strength, prosperity , immortality , fertility and is a symbol of good luck .

The pine cone has enriched and decorated the homes of both peasants and nobles, towering over the gates or balconies of the great palaces and villas of the island's aristocracy, and continues to be a stunning decorative object even today.

Crita brings pine cones into your home, respecting their unique and traditional shape, crafted with great patience, leaf by leaf, by our master ceramists.

Naturally, we bring our innovative spirit, always seeking something different. This is why the pine cones are covered in a cascade of colors unusual for these objects. These are the colors that Crita carefully selects for her creations. Evocative, radiant, and refined colors. Some are truly sophisticated and never-before-seen, like our Bruno di Santo Pietro , Ocra di Mongialino , or the very exclusive Blu delle Correnti .

As always, Crita bridges the gap between Caltagirone's age-old ceramic art and the 21st century. Welcome to the new era of pine cones.
