Deruta Nicolini Raffaellesco mug
SKU: AW437Ceramic mug made by studio Nicolini in Deruta. The mug is hand decorated with pattern Raffaellesco. This pattern is inspired by the 16th century frescoes created by the painter Raphael in the Vatican. Raphael captured a dragon-like figure in it, the Grottesque, which has since symbolized blessings and happiness. In Deruta it is said that with a Raffaellesco item in your home, bad luck will pass you by.
Marked on the bottom.
Dimensions: diameter 8 cm, height 9.5 cm.
In excellent used condition. A glazing error on the dragon-like figure; the glaze feels a bit rough here.
