Deruta, Italy

Deruta is a small town placed in the middle of Umbria, famous all over the world for its classical and modern ceramics. Its artistic tradition dates back to Etruscan period, but it is in the Renaissance that Deruta reached its artistic perfection.
The most important museums in Europe and America exhibit precious examples of this ancient art.
Today this artistic tradition goes on in handcrafted factories where able craftsmen create wonderful ceramics. Our factory the "Maioliche Originali Deruta" (Authentic Deruta Majolica) is placed in this background as a middling size firm where ancient patterns are faithfully reproduced according to professionalism and experience.

Quality, creativity, ability are also a characteristic of our modern production: different shapes, original patterns, new techniques of working and a various assortment of styles and decorations. Our thirty-years experience led us to have business relations also with international markets.
