Moorish Head

Selim is the new Moorish head from Caltagirone designed by Crita. Entirely handmade in Caltagirone, the emblematic sicilian city of ceramics. Selim combines the tradition of Caltagirone ceramics with the elegance and purity of forms that distinguish Crita creations.

Solimano and Roxelana are our Moorish heads from Caltagirone. Anyone who knows Crita is aware that our Moors have names, stories, dreams and a charm that from the East, through the Mediterranean breeze, lead straight to Sicily. Solimano and Roxelana in Giardino are the expression of that skill that only the ceramics of Caltagirone are able to express. Inspired by the citrus gardens of Sicilian villas and embraced by a sumptuous citrus crown, the turbans of Suleiman and Roxelana become a triumph of plasticity and royalty. Oranges, lemons and leaves follow each other in a circle, decorating our Moors heads with the most beautiful crown possible. Crita's heads, as always, are colored with highly sought-after and innovative colors. Colors of Sicily that have the most contemporary vision of tones capable of making a home magical.

A new couple of moorish heads has been born in the Crita kilns. Solimano and Roxelana d'India are proof of how the heads of Caltagirone can always renew themselves by looking at the world from Sicilian eyes.
They are from India, but which of the many? An exotic fruit which bears the name of the great Asian country but which in reality comes from the great American empires and which, with its sweetness and its 'armor' of thorns has become, over the centuries, one of the symbols of Sicily.
The Sicilian countryside is dotted with this succulent plant which grows luxuriantly adapting to all conditions and we, from the barren Sicilian lands, have collected the figs which, very colourful, paint the landscapes of our island, to make a crown on the heads of Solimano and Roxelana.
With the same calm that is needed to harvest the fruit, the prickly pears of our crowns are, with patience and attention, modeled one by one to crown Solimano and Roxelana with colorful ceramic fruits.
As always, the study of colors we carry out for each of our creations it is curious and experimental: it is the colors of Sicily that we look for, we try and bring into your homes.
Corallo di Sciacca, Verde Montalbano, Granata di Monforte, Sabbia Falconara and Bianco dei Peloritani, are a chromatic journey into the most fascinating island in the Mediterranean: Sicily.
