The culture of creating this beauty from clay is more than 4 thousand years old.

Throughout history, with every wave of emigration, new people have brought techniques for processing and decorating household utensils to Sicily. Foreign masters shared secrets, so today in what we know under the sign of Sicilian ceramics lies a cultural layer: from the Greek to the Muslim conquests of the island.
