Part of the Traditional Ceramic Collection, this head vase exemplifies the genius Giacomo Alessi’s work, reinterpreting local myths and styles through modern tastes, whilst maintaining traditional techniques. The legend goes that a beautiful girl in Palermo caught the eye of a handsome Moorish occupier, who vowed to make her his. The blossoming affair between them was cut short when the Sicilian girl found out her lover had a wife and child waiting for him back in his native land. In her rage and sorrow, she beheaded the Moor and used his severed head to grow plants on her balcony. Watered by her heartbroken tears and fed by the remains of her lover, the plants grew spectacularly in the Sicilian sun – so much so that her neighbors, being envious of such abundance, began creating their own pots fashioned after Moorish heads, without ever knowing the tragic reason for her odd choice of vessel. Handmade in accordance with local traditions, each piece is unique and individual, with slight derivations from what is shown in the images. This is part of what makes Ceramiche Alessi’s pieces so special and inimitable.
