DESCRIPTION

A hand-decorated Italian ceramic bowl featuring a deep blue glaze with intricate wildlife motifs and gold detailing. Both functional and decorative, it brings a refined yet expressive presence to the table. Ideal for serving or as a collectible accent.

Elegant and richly detailed, this handcrafted ceramic bowl reflects the artistry and storytelling tradition of Italian design. The deep blue ground provides a striking canvas for a lively composition of motifs—centered around a dynamic zebra and surrounded by birds, botanical elements, and delicate ornamental accents that create a sense of movement and visual depth.

The bowl’s softly rounded form is framed by a refined gold rim and base, applied through gold serigraphy. This luminous detailing contrasts beautifully with the насыщенный blue glaze, adding a layer of sophistication while highlighting the intricacy of the hand-applied decoration.

Each piece is individually hand-decorated, showcasing the precision and care of Italian artisanship. The layered motifs and gold accents ensure that no two bowls are exactly alike, reinforcing its authenticity and distinguishing it from mass-produced alternatives.

Ideal for the entertainer, collector, or thoughtful gift-giver, this bowl is perfect for serving small dishes, desserts, or accompaniments. It also serves as a decorative piece within a curated Italian table or interior, bringing color, craftsmanship, and character into everyday

    ARTISAN STORY

    Ortigia Sicilia is a privately owned Italian soap and scent company founded in Sicily in 2006 by Sue Townsend. The luxurious range scented products are formulated using natural products indigenous to Sicily and inspired by the aesthetics, colours and scents of Italy’s most historic and tropical region.

    The name Ortigia comes from the small island that lies at the edge of the ancient fortified city of Siracusa, on Sicily’s southeastern coast. The streets of Ortigia are crumbling baroque façades of great splendour looking out on 3 sides to the sea. The Piazza del Duomo is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy. Situated on the southeastern side of Sicily, this part of the island is known as “la Sicilia Orientale” because of its proximity to Africa and almost tropical climate.

    Sicily is enriched with a colourful history of conquest, invasion and assimilation. It has been fought over and colonised: Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Hohenstaufens, Angevins, Aragonese and Bourbons all left their mark. Examples are found throughout the island. The island’s history, reflected in the uniquely rich and layered culture that is found in Sicily today, has inspired the creation of the Ortigia range.

     

    CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    Hand-wash only: Due to the delicate hand-applied gold serigraphy and glaze, please avoid using your dishwasher.

    Use mild soap: Wash gently with warm water and a soft cloth or sponge—avoid abrasive pads.

    Avoid sudden temperature changes: To prevent cracking, do not pour boiling liquids straight into the mug.

    • Handle with care: The artisanal finish may show slight variations, so treat it gently to maintain its beauty.
