It has been Biordi's undisputed best selling Italian dinnerware and Maiolica for the past 60 years.

ARTISAN STORY
Ricco Deruta - This is Biordi’s most popular pattern for classic Italian dinnerware. This design on the Majolica pottery can be traced from Perugino’s frescos from the 16th century, and is hailed as Deruta’s most celebrated design. The Ricco Deruta design is masterfully hand painted with the original blues, yellows, and greens of the traditional Renaissance era.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Italian ceramics are heirloom quality products, and can last lifetime with proper care. We have some suggestions that will preserve your majolica for years to come. Majolica is dishwasher safe, but many people choose to hand wash their pieces as a precaution. Because majolica is a porous material, some pieces are not meant to hold liquid for a long period of time. Check for warning labels before ordering a product, as the pieces that are most notorious for "sweating" are appropriately labeled. Majolica is sensitive to extreme temperatures, specifically boiling or freezing liquids. Pouring water with a rolling boil directly into a teapot, for example, may lead to breakage. To avoid this, temper the object. The industry standard is 620 degrees Celsius (1,148 degrees Fahrenheit). Quench the glass to cool it. Crazing is common in well used majolica. The tiny cracks in the glaze do not affect the functionality of your majolica. Majolica hand-crafted products should not be microwaved, as it may crack and/or break the ceramics. See less
