The Ceramic Pine Cone

The ceramic pine cone is a unique artifact, an object full of meaning, representative of past civilizations that have sown millenary symbols and traditions. The pine cone is the fruit of the pine, capable of remembering strength, life, immortality and strong links with the fecundity that generates the seeds contained in it. Giving a pine cone as a gift is a wish for good health, if hung outside your door, it is a useful luck charm for the people who live inside the house. The artisan tradition of the Calatini masters manages to materialize, with art and skill, pine cones of different sizes, each one unique and strictly hand painted. On the base cap, blue, green or red, a foot is made to support each single part of the pine cone. Watching the creation of this precious handcrafted object is surprising, above all seeing how the skilled and careful hands of the master potter, with meticulousness, create the bracts to be applied one by one, one by one. The result is worthy of a valuable object, more enhanced, after cooking, by the brushes of bright green enamel. As a wedding gift or as a wedding favor, it is one of those artifacts that are always welcome, able to stand out with any style of furniture. The Caltagirone pine cones are available with the bases painted in red and blue, sixteen centimeters high; with a teal base, twenty centimeters high.
