Lu Mari - Crita Ceramiche di Caltagirone

Lu Mari

Because the sea surrounds Sicily , we decided to dedicate these Caltagirone ceramic dinner sets to our Mediterranean.

A sea that for centuries has been a crossroads of peoples and traditions, shaping the culture of the island par excellence: Trinacria . A land of myths, exquisite cuisine, and colorful majolica. Fish, birds, and fantastical characters intertwine in our dishes, crafted entirely by hand in our ceramic workshops in Caltagirone. Fantastic figures that tell the myriad stories that, from Spain to Turkey—with Sicily always at the center—have enriched the folk tales of the Mediterranean people.

Colored with copper green , the most typical color of Caltagirone ceramics , they have the shape of the fangotto , a plate that has never been missing from Sicilian and Caltagirone homes – both useful for preparing the tomato paste ' astrattu ', left to dry in the sun, and as a sharing dish to bring to the table.

Our Caltagirone ceramics and Caltagirone plates are handcrafted on the wheel. The skilled hands of our ceramists, who have been shaping and creating some of the world's most famous ceramics for centuries, meticulously paint every detail to bring a unique blend of our Caltagirone, its ceramics, and our Sicily to your table.
