This simplified green pattern in a Set of 4, on the Simplified-Design Pasta/Soup Bowl, is a reinterpretation of the classic Orvieto design. Even though simplified, this pattern still displays the singing rooster. This rooster, introduced by Deruta ceramicists in the early 20th century, has become a familiar icon in Italian pottery.

ARTISAN STORY:
Orvieto Green Rooster – This pattern is one of Italy’s oldest dinnerware designs; “il Buon Gallo,” of the Good Rooster, is known to bring good luck and prosperity to the home that keeps it. This style originated during the 13th century in Orvieto, a small town on top of a volcanic plateau. In the Renaissance, Orvieto ceramics were often associated with green colorations. less
