Any small irregularities should be considered proof of the products’ unique nature and are attributable to their artisan creation process.
The artisanal production process means that no two products are absolutely identical.
The application of the glazes can create shades and streaks which are typical of hand-applied glazing.

The roots of our “I Carusi” collection lie in the ancient legend of the Moor’s heads, which we have revisited with a modern twist to create truly unique pieces.
The bright colours, elegant lineaments and sculptural form of our Moor’s heads distinguish these wonderful pieces of art.
The voluminous turbans are transformed into masterpieces of Sicilian art, our hand-painted decorations covering the Moor’s heads with citrus fruits, leaves, pomegranates, and other ornamentation and rendering them absolutely unique.
Moor’s Heads undergo two kiln firings.
The first is at a temperature of around 980°C and lasts for 36 hours.
Once this first firing is complete, the heads are cooled and then immersed in tanks containing the glaze which gives them their characteristic brightly-coloured appearance.
When the glaze has dried, they undergo a second firing for 36 hours, this time at a temperature of around 920°C.
The “Carusi” Moor’s Heads are perfect for holding your wooden cooking utensils or a basil plant in the kitchen, or at the centre of the table filled with delicious breadsticks.
They are ideal for holding coloured pencils on your desk too, or your toothbrushes on the bathroom sink.
They are also perfect for outdoor areas like terraces, balconies or gardens, or for brightening up a corner of your living room, where they can hold small plants and flowers.
The “Carusi” Moor’s Heads are the perfect present for a loved one.
To clean the Moor’s heads, use a damp, soft, non-abrasive cloth and avoid the use of chemical detergents which may damage the enamel.
The Moor’s heads should be handled gently and care should be taken not to drop them and to avoid any impact with hard surfaces, as even the slightest impact may chip the product.
