Our love affair with Sicily
Welcome! We’re Christina and Ettore, together as partners in life and in business, we share a passion for beauty, craftsmanship, and heritage. Together, we’ve created this space to bring the timeless artistry of Sicilian ceramics to the UK, a place we now call home.
Ettore, originally from Sicily, has always been surrounded by the island’s rich culture—its vibrant art, food, and architecture. For me, Christina, being of Armenian and Iraqi descent, I’ve always been drawn to places where history and culture intersect. When I first visited Sicily, I felt an immediate connection to its authenticity. There’s a beautiful synergy between Sicily’s artistic traditions and my own heritage—each piece of pottery, each building, and each recipe tells a story of generations past. It reminded me of the beauty I’ve always admired in my own family’s traditions.
Together, we share a belief that true beauty lies in the handmade. In a world that is increasingly driven by mass production and commercialisation, we want to offer something different. Each piece of Sicilian ceramic is a one-of-a-kind creation, handcrafted with love, care, and centuries of tradition. We are dedicated to bringing these exceptional works of art to England, where we believe that a deep appreciation for handmade goods is more important than ever.
Our mission is simple: to share the beauty of Sicilian craftsmanship and to inspire others to embrace the art of the handmade. We believe that every item tells a story, and every story is a piece of history we can carry with us.
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you fall in love with the artistry and culture of Sicily, just as we did.
Warmly,
Christina & Ettore
