Sicilian Small Plate

Breath all the sun from Sicily through this gorgeous decorative plate! Hang it to your kitchen or place it on your dining table to infuse a good dose of Mediterranean vibes to your interior.

This decorative plate comes from Monreale, a beautiful town close to Palermo (Sicily, Italy), located on the slope of Monte Caputo, overlooking a fertile valley called “La Conca d’oro” (the Golden Shell), a production area of orange, olive and almond trees. Beside being famous all over the world for its stunning cathedral, Monreale is one of the main centre for the production of ceramics on the island.

Monreale Ceramics

The ceramic culture has been diffused in Sicily since the 6th millennium A.C. The geographical position of the island has conquered the attention of many peoples over the centuries, from Greeks to Romans, Normans, Spanish. Welcoming land at the crossroads of diverse cultures, Sicily has developed a very personal ceramic production, rich in character, decor and colours. Monreale, by virtue of its long-standing historical tradition and its deep-rooted artisanal production fabric in the ceramic sector, is one of the 46 cities in Italy that can boast recognition as a “City of ancient and established ceramic tradition”. An ancient art that has its roots in the 16th century, thanks to the school of artists founded by Masi Oddo, and which still receives prestige today thanks to the magnificent creations of the town’s artisan workers.

This product is handmade and therefore unique. As any object made by hand, it’s a gesture of love and helps us feel closer to our roots.
