Decorative Sicilian tozzetti: small tiles to use, gift and collect

Tozzetti by Ceramiche De Simone are a particular type of decorative tiles: small, colourful ceramic pieces full of character, designed to bring the joy, energy and unmistakable charm of Sicilian style into your home.

Those who are not familiar with the word “tozzetti” often look for them as tiles, but tozzetti have a personality and function of their own. Unlike traditional ceramic tiles, which are thinner and designed to be installed as a covering, tozzetti are thicker, more substantial and more versatile. They are reminiscent of small decorative tiles, but they are not intended for flooring or for use as standard coverings.

Their charm lies precisely in their versatility. In the kitchen, at the table, on a shelf or on a countertop, they become small decorative and functional details, perfect for resting a spoon, a small pan, a bowl or other everyday objects. Each tozzetto also has a hole on the back, so it can be hung as a decorative piece.

Ceramiche De Simone tozzetti: gift ideas and artisan favours

Colourful, original and easy to place in any setting, tozzetti are one of our most loved gift ideas. They are also often chosen as artisan favours for weddings, baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations and other special occasions: small ceramic keepsakes, joyful and precious, able to celebrate an important moment through the unique language of Ceramiche De Simone.

Each tozzetto is made from an industrial base and then decorated by hand by our artists. Every subject follows a recognisable style, but the hand-painted decoration makes each piece slightly different from the next: a small uniqueness that is part of the charm of craftsmanship.

The collection includes lively subjects full of personality: flowers, fruit, fish, marine elements, zodiac signs and traditional Sicilian characters such as farmers, fishermen, brigadiers and many other figures from the Ceramiche De Simone world.

Whether chosen to decorate the home, add colour to the kitchen, surprise guests with an original favour or simply give someone a small piece of Sicily, Ceramiche De Simone ceramic tozzetti are special little details: beautiful to look at, useful to use and delightful to give.
