Add authentic Mediterranean warmth to your kitchen with this hand-painted ceramic canister by Caleca. Originally made in Sicily, this lidded jar features the brand’s signature green heart motif set against soft yellow and lavender bands. It is a classic example of majolica pottery, crafted from volcanic clay and finished with vibrant, durable glazes. While it shows some signs of its previous life, it remains a sturdy and beautiful functional art piece.

  • "This item is being sold AS IS in used vintage condition. It features a visible chip on the bottom outer rim (see photo 2) and two chips on the interior rim of the lid (see photo 3). These flaws do not affect the stability of the canister but are reflected in the discounted price. As a handmade piece, minor crazing and firing marks are present, which are characteristic of authentic Italian pottery."

Meet the Maker: Caleca
Founded in Sicily, Italy in the 1930s, Caleca is a premier pottery house known for its artisanal hand-painted majolica. Using volcanic clay from the Mt. Etna region, their craftsmen create pieces that are as durable as they are colorful. The Trinacria emblem on the bottom is the ancient symbol of Sicily, guaranteeing that this piece was created with generations of Italian ceramic expertise.

Collected with intention, not imitation.
