Blue Pine Cone With Decorated Base

The pine cone, fruit of the pine tree, has always and in different civilizations contained within itself the symbolic meanings of life force, immortality, divinity, linked to the tree that generates it together with those of fertility and regenerative force for the seeds it contains.

We also find the pine cone on balconies and entrance gates of ancient noble villas and gardens, monumental cemeteries, facades of churches and convents, up to populate the thrones of kings and popes as a materialization of the soul, the bridge that unites the earth to the divine . These meanings materialize in the hands of skilled ceramic craftsmen who make large and small pine cones.
