Apulian craftsmanship finds one of its best expressions in the monochromatic ceramic owl. These magnificent creations take shape thanks to the skilled hands of local artisans, who have passed down the art of bringing such sinuous and practically perfect forms to life for generations with only their hands and passion. Each owl represents a unique piece, crafted with patience and dedication, symbolizing the essence of Apulian traditional and artisanal mastery.
The owl and the little owl have been symbols of wisdom and knowledge since ancient times. In the Middle Ages, students carried small amulets shaped like an owl or little owl during exams or important tests to bring good luck. Similarly, a feather of an owl or little owl was sewn into the bride's dress as a good omen for the future. Houses also had purpose-made holes in their roofs to host these animals, thus warding off bad luck from the families living there. These ancient protection symbols are still appreciated today, with ceramic owls becoming perfect good luck charms.
Ceramic owls come in different sizes, each with unique features. The main difference between a small owl and a large owl is the definition of the wings: from 9 cm down, the wings are attached, while from 10 cm up, they are detached. The shown photo refers to the 12 cm size, while smaller models may have slightly different details. Due to the artisanal nature of the product, availability may vary and may take 10-15 days for production, especially for larger orders. For specific requirements, it is always advisable to contact us.
