The first image is AI-enhanced to better showcase the design against a neutral background. Please rely only on the following original photos for the item’s true condition. Elegant Deruta maiolica tea service, consisting of six cups with their matching saucers, entirely handmade according to the Umbrian ceramic tradition. The service is made of white-glazed majolica and is enriched by a refined cobalt blue decoration, executed by hand, consisting of a continuous ornamental motif of swirls, sprigs and stylized floral elements. The decoration runs along the central band of the cups and the various elements of the set, while the saucers feature a richer ornamental border. Particularly characteristic is the shape of the cups, with soft, rounded lines, shaped handles and richly decorated, echoed also by the teapot, the sugar bowl and the milk jug. The lids are finished with small turned knobs, also decorated in blue. The ensemble very much reflects the tradition of Deruta’s artistic ceramics, one of the most important Italian centers of maiolica, famous for decorative pieces characterized by vivid colors and ornament repertoires of Renaissance derivation. A striking set, particularly pleasing both for use and as a collectible object, thanks to the richness of the decoration and the typical Derutese artisanal workmanship. Composition: 6 teacups 6 coordinated saucers 1 teapot 1 milk jug 1 sugar bowl Excellent condition.
