DESCRIPTION
Schittone Moorish Head is handmade and painted in Italy, referred as Teste Di Moro. This piece can be used as a planter, vase or stunning piece of art. The legend of the Moorish head goes back in the XI century, during the Moors domination in Sicily and as in most legends, is once again Cupid’s fault (or credit). One day, a beautiful and honorable young girl living in the Kalsa, the arabic district of Palermo, was taking care of plants and flowers in the balcony of her house as she was used to. Suddenly, a Moor merchant who was passing by, fell in love with the beautiful girl who immediately returned his love. They started having a love story until when she discovered he already had a wife and children waiting for him in his native land. She went suddenly crazy of jealousy and one night, while he was sleeping she thought of a way to make him stay with her forever! She therefore cut off his head and used it as a vase to grow her beautiful basil plant. People walking by her balcony started looking at her flourishing plant of basil and became jealous of how bloomed her plants were, so they commissioned the potters in Palermo to forge colourful clay heads pots wishing to have the same magic green thumb.
ARTISAN STORY
The brothers Schittone, Vincenzo and Giuseppe, opened their artistic workshop in 2002 in Sciacca, a beautiful coastal town overlooking the sea in Sicily. Born in Sciacca, they attended the state institute of art "G. Bonachia “. As true artisans in hand-crafted modeling and painting, the brothers are two of our most innovative ceramists. They create unique pieces such as Moor's heads and passionately promote Sciacca a city of Ceramic.
