Elevate your home and dining experience with these exquisite Italian ceramic pieces from the Ricco Deruta Collection by Artistica. These authentic Maiolica (also known as Majolica) creations are inspired by the world-renowned pottery of Deruta, Italy. This medieval hilltop town has been celebrated for its superior ceramics since the 12th century. The Ricco design—meaning "rich" in Italian—is Deruta's most iconic and beloved pattern. Artistica proudly offers the true original version of this celebrated motif, which dates back to the 16th century. It features intricate scrollwork and floral accents, paying homage to the frescoes painted by Renaissance master Pietro Perugino (aka "Il Perugino"). These pieces will bring timeless elegance and historical charm to your home. Each piece is expertly hand-painted by master artisans in Deruta using traditional Renaissance colors like royal blue, yellow gold, and emerald green; these vibrant hues create a stunning visual contrast, making this ceramic item a perfect centerpiece for your kitchen, dining table, or living space. Crafted from 100% food-safe glazes and colors, this earthenware item reflects centuries of artistic heritage passed down through generations. While each piece is dishwasher safe for easy care, we recommend avoiding microwave use, as the ceramic may become very hot. Whether hosting an elegant dinner party or adding a touch of Italian sophistication to your décor, this authentic Ricco Deruta ceramic is a timeless investment in beauty and craftsmanship. We do carry three Ricco Deruta versions in three price points. Click HERE to view and compare them
