Deruta has been one of the most vibrant hubs of Italian ceramics since the Renaissance in the 15th century. Every piece marked as Deruta is rigorously handmade, as tradition dictates. Vibrant, intricate designs exemplified on this lovely platter have become a symbol of the quintessential warmth and vitality of Italy.

“Dipinto a mano” is Italian for “painted by hand“. This large oval platter is a stunning example of handmade Italian artistry. Completely handmade and hand-painted, the subjects are nestled among verdant leaves on a very rare black background.

DECORATION: Bright lemons, daisies, pomegranates, and shaded foliage are hand-painted with a bold red and narrow black border, bringing a Mediterranean vibe to your gatherings and meals.

This piece would look fabulous on a kitchen wall or back-splash, and can be used as a serving platter. less
