Deruta Raffaellesco Ornate Serving Platter 12"

A stunning Deruta Raffaellesco Jumbo Serving Platter, beautifully hand-decorated with magnificent detailing and artwork. The Deruta Raffaellesco pattern traces its origins to the 16th century and was inspired by Raphael’s Frescoes in the Vatican. One of Deruta's most popular and enduring Renaissance patterns adorned in mythical animals, Raffaellesco is a compassionate deity bestowing good luck to seagoing merchants with the wind puffs steaming from the dragon's mouth. Large enough to hold a Chicken, Ham, Roast or Great for Entertaining or as a decorative Italian Wall Plate.
