Description from the seller
A splendid set of serving trays, entirely handmade by master artisans of Deruta.
The abundance of clay deposits and the favorable position along important land and river routes favored the development of ceramic production in Deruta since the Middle Ages. With an uninterrupted continuity for at least seven centuries, Deruta still represents today the center of the largest production of artistic maiolica in Italy. In this great ceramic cradle there are countless artisanal workshops, the kilns where new clays were created and tested, new techniques experimented with, new forms devised, new glazes and enamels tried, new colors used and new decorative patterns painted.
Each piece of the set is hand-painted by one of Deruta’s artisans and is decorated with grotesques and colorful floral garlands, a mark of great refinement and taste.
The service consists of:
1 salad bowl
2 small oval trays
2 large oval trays
The set is in overall excellent condition, with minimal defects due to the artisanal nature of the product. The photographs reflect the real condition of the item and highlight any possible flaws.
An item of great refinement and elegance. Very rare, painted and shaped entirely by hand.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
