A vintage Italian Deruta Pottery tea set is presented in the classic Raffaellesco pattern. The pattern is designed with stylized mythical dragons in hues of green, yellow and blue influenced by the frescoes of the Italian artist, Raphael. The dragons ‘gods’ on the set symbolize good luck and the scrolls or ‘puffs of wind’ represent fair winds to seaworthy sailors as they start their merchant voyages.

All pieces are appropriately marked to the underside, ‘Deruta Italy’.
