As tradition dictates, the Suleiman of Crita portrays a splendid, proud, elegant and mysterious Moor, like so many of those things that recall the Orient.

Not just any Moor, but the representation of one of the greatest sultans of the East: Suleiman the Magnificent . A tribute to those people who laid the foundations of the ceramic art that the people of Caltagirone perfected and made unique. The Suleiman of Crita, like the real Suleiman depicted in various sixteenth-century depictions, has shed all frills and decorations to emphasize solely the beauty of the face and the brilliance and power of the colors.

Entirely handcrafted , its expression is expertly crafted to express distinction, wisdom, and mystery. The colors are the powerful ones of the Sicilian land: the blue of the sea , the red of the lava , the yellow of the earth . The creative process, from modeling to firing, ensures that each piece will never be exactly identical to the previous one, making it truly unique.

Like every work of art, it is the fruit of the hands of those who shape it and, like each of us, Solimano has characteristics that make him unique.
