Description

These are two anthropomorphic pots that I took in friend's house at the end of October. These pots are the hallmark of Caltagirone, a town in province of Catania, known for its handmade pottery. The Arabs, who conquered Sicily in 827, called this town Kalat al Giarun: the hill of the vases. They introduced innovative technologies in the processing of the clay as the glazing. I wish you a wonderful weekend! :) Thanks for the previous comments and favs!
