In the historical and cultural tradition of Sicilian ceramics, the pine cone is the highest expression of good wishes for health and prosperity, a symbol of life and fertility.
The pine cone is an object rich in symbolism and meaning. A recurring meaning is that of fertility, as it is full of seeds and also due to its peculiar ovoid shape. In Sicily, it was given to women as a wedding gift. They were traditionally placed at the corners of balconies.
