Pyramus and Thisbe

Pyramus and Thisbe tell the story of an absolute and forbidden love, born in silence and consumed by fate. Two souls close yet divided, united by a voice, an imagined gaze, by a promise that defies every boundary. In our Teste di Moro collection, this myth takes shape in ceramic as a symbol of a bond both fragile and overwhelmingly powerful.

The two figures, hand-shaped and hand-decorated, express tension and longing, distance and attraction. Pyramus embodies the bold impulse of a love that dares; Thisbe, devotion and waiting, the quiet strength of unwavering belief. Together they create an intense narrative, suspended between hope and tragedy.

This pair of Moor’s Heads is part of a broader journey dedicated to the great myths, where each creation becomes both story and memory. Objects that do more than decorate: they evoke deep, universal emotions capable of transcending time.

Choosing Pyramus and Thisbe means embracing a myth that speaks of extreme love, irreversible choices, and the eternal power of feeling.
