DESCRIPTION

A hand-decorated Italian ceramic bowl in a soft pink glaze, adorned with vibrant wildlife motifs and finished with gold detailing. Both functional and decorative, it brings a refined yet playful presence to the table. Ideal for serving or as a collectible accent.

Delicate in color yet rich in detail, this handcrafted ceramic bowl reflects the expressive charm of Italian decorative tradition. The soft pink ground provides a gentle backdrop for a lively composition of motifs—featuring a dynamic zebra, exotic birds, botanical elements, and finely rendered details that create a sense of movement and narrative.

The bowl’s elegant silhouette is complemented by a refined gold rim and foot, applied through gold serigraphy. This subtle luminosity frames the piece beautifully, adding depth and contrast to the hand-applied decoration. The balance between playful imagery and polished finishing makes it equally suited for everyday use and display.

Each bowl is hand-decorated, reflecting the care and precision of Italian artisanship. The intricate application of pattern and gold detailing ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, distinguishing it from mass-produced alternatives and reinforcing its value as an authentic, collectible object.

Perfect for the entertainer, collector, or thoughtful gift-giver, this bowl is ideal for serving small dishes, snacks, or desserts. It also serves beautifully as a decorative piece within a curated Italian table or interior setting.

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.
