Sultan Sunflower | Sicilian head vase

The beautiful Sultan is dressed in beautiful robes and decorated with sunflowers. He is from Sicily, where the potter behind has his family-run shop.

The art vases depict Arab sultans and Sicilian Donnas full of pride, elegance and mystery and are a tribute to the people who brought ceramics to Sicily. The tradition behind the Sicilian head vases is based on an ancient legend from the time when Palermo was Arab, which tells of foreign mysterious, flaming love and a blossoming severed head. Yes, maybe you have even seen White Lotus and know that there is something fascinating and mysterious about the beautiful heads.
