A surreal blue hand-painted Sicilian vase in the shape of a woman’s head. Who is she?

The sunny Mediterranean countries always seem to produce the best love stories. Perhaps the light & loose clothing, fine wine and the region’s stunning natural beauty have something to do with it.

This love story is from 11th Century Sicily, a land ruled by the Arabs and Moors of North Africa. A pretty, young Sicilian maiden is gardening on her balcony when below walks a noble young Moor, who is taken by her beauty. They fall in love but it is not to last, for soon he must return home… to his wife and children! Enraged, the lady beheads the Moor and uses his skull as a plant pot, so she will always be with her lover.

Thus began the Sicilian tradition of head-shaped decorative plant pots. Of course, it would also work as a fruit bowl, or a potpourri holder, whatever you see fit. Display this showpiece with pride and she’ll charm your guests just like she charmed that unfortunate young Moor.

About Casa by Josephine Jenno

As you enter the hallway, you’ll be taken aback by the collection of paintings and prints that exemplify her devotion to the arts and its history.In the sitting room, it’s time to get nosey - curiosities big and small, all with their own stories of people and places from the four continents she’s called home.

The dining room embodies JJ’s hospitality, with seats set out for friends and family — a table dressed in all the wonder of the mad hatter and elegance of a Venetian palace. The documents in her study boast accreditations from Christies and letters for the Vatican Museums. On a different day, you might find JJ at the desk, investing in one of many start-ups that empower women.

Breeze through the bedroom, look in the kitchen and kick back in the sitting room. Each room will unravel a little more of the common thread that runs through JJ’s house - a love for beautiful interior design; and as a lucky visitor, she now shares the gift with you, through Casa by Josephine Jenno.
