[@newjerseyitalianheritageco6207]

Having visited the shops myself, I can say you are on the money, This is a most colorful part of Sicily. The steps in Caltagirone Eszter mentions came up in Joe Pistone's shop. I asked how you protect your designs from being used by others, are they patented ? He said, go visit the steps, our family's design was on step # 94 and placed there in 17th century :) All stunning and all gorgeous.. You won't find made in....China on the bottom :)

[@EszterVajda]

I love this story ! Thank you for sharing ! Next time I will go see #94!

Peccato che ormai in tutta l'italia ci sono molti citta che hanno copiato le ceramiche di caltagirone (anche i cinesi ) quasi tutto e cinese

[@YouMeandSicily]

No in Caltagirone, Sciacca and Santo Stefano di Camastra they are artisan workers.
