Salvo Little Head by Patrizia Italiano – Octopus – Handmade white ceramic from Sicily – Plant pot – Vase

Handmade white ceramic from Sicily

Patrizia Italiano is a renowned Italian artist and ceramist, whose work is a true celebration of Sicily, her homeland and her main source of inspiration. Patrizia Italiano lives in Sicily, Italy, between Palermo and Filicudi, one of the Aeolian Islands.

She draws her inspiration from Sicilian landscapes, its history and its people. She is famous for her anthropomorphic vases, the famous Sicilian Moor’s Heads, which she reinterprets with great humour and a modern twist, giving them the names of Sicilian merchants.

Here we have Salvo, the octopus seller.
