Signed and dated on the reverse by SACA Castelli (2001), the tile showcases the region’s characteristic palette of warm ochres, deep blues, and soft neutral tones, enhanced by intentional antiquing.

The tile is mounted with its original rustic hanging hardware, making it ready for wall display. Subtle glaze variation, gentle age toning, and visible hand-painting details reflect the artisanal nature of Castelli ceramics and contribute to the piece’s character and authenticity.
