Deruta Majolica Plate

Deruta Majolica Plate — a vivid expression of Umbria’s historic ceramic traditions. This hand-painted serving plate features radiating petal-shaped segments, each filled with small floral bouquets in red, yellow, green, and cobalt blue. At the center is a larger floral medallion, surrounded by a rhythm of scrolling and geometric accents.

Deruta has been a center for maiolica pottery since the Renaissance. Known for its tin-glazed ceramics, Deruta potters passed techniques through generations — combining vivid palette, baroque composition, and religious or botanical themes. This piece likely dates from the mid-20th century, when the town’s craft saw a commercial revival for tourism and export.

Its classic form and pattern make it ideal for wall display or festive table use
