  About Sicilia
  
  Amphora of the Dressel 9-10 type that was produced between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD, and which first appeared in the Augustus period. They were produced mainly in the region of Lyon (France), in the workshops of La Mulette. They were distributed mainly in the Roman regions of France and Switzerland and several examples have been found that indicate that they were used to hold different fish products like gari flos, muria hispana and garum hispanum.
  
  About the ageing process
  
  The whole process occurs under water, the ceramic art is submerged under conditions that favour marine life employing streams of water from a special pumping plant and cooling condensers. The filtering system creates special conditions that assist underwater life and accelerate the ageing of each piece, rendering it completely unique and worthy of a collector.
  The main feature of these perfect replicas is that the ageing process is 100% natural without chemicals involved, distinguishing it as an environmentally friendly product and a hand crafted reproduction of historical and cultural art.

The fact to be considered is that it is the marine flora and fauna that is responsible for its natural adornment and final appearance.
  
  These amphora reproductions are accurately handcrafted by master potters, then cultivated beneath the sea and thus it is the marine environment and the passing of time which decides how they are returned to the ground. Our customers, therefore, have the privilege of owning unique and unparalleled pieces, as there are no two alike.
