Pinecone in Caltagirone ceramics of color cobalt blue with decorated base, height 15 centimetres.
The Pinecone Made and hand painted in Artistic ceramics from Caltagirone It has ancient origins.

Fruit of the pine, it has always and in various civilizations contained within itself the symbolic meanings of vital force, immortality, divinity, linked to the tree that generates it, together with those of fertility and regenerative force for the seeds it contains.
 
Raised as a symbol of the mountain, home of the Gods, we find it, already in ancient times, in the Mediterranean area representing divinity; and if in the iconographic tradition of the Far East, especially Indian, it stands at the top of the Tree of Life, in the Greek one it is at the top of the tyrso, the staff of Dyonysus, a god linked to the mysteries of death and rebirth, regeneration and resurrection.

These values have left clear marks on Sicily: the pine cone is not only often found on gate pillars entrance, but is used as ornament, or, again, how ornamental element of the four corners in the nineteenth-century style iron double beds.

The productions of Kalat Ceramics they are made entirely in Caltagirone and decorated by hand by Calatinian master craftsmen. They are supplied with warranty certificate
