SINGAPORE (May 8): A burning tribute
When we first looked at these candles by Dolce&Gabbana we knew that there is no way we will burn them. These scented candles are made and hand painted by Sicilian artisans with each candle a story to tell. For example, the story of the “Sicilian heads” is an ancient and fascinating one — especially those of Caltagirone, a small town with ancient Greek and Arab influences and a production centre of pottery. The bright and vivid colours used here are a tribute to the many beauties of Sicily. Faces of women and men in ceramic are decorated with crowns, lemons, exotic prickly pears and delicate ornamental motifs.
