Ceramiche Favaroni Carlo is located in the old town in Deruta. Artisans for decades, this family owned business creates unique hand painted Italian ceramics. 

Since the 1940s, Mr. Salvatore Favaroni has painted in various Deruta factories, creating inspired works following local traditions. In the 1970’s, Mr. Favaroni opened his own laboratory called “Ceramiche Favaroni Deruta” with decorations of flowers, landscape & Castelli characterizing the production.

Salvatore’s decorations were developed without the use of the dusting (spolvero) technique,  so each piece is similar but never identical. The first dining table painted in Deruta, on volcanic stone brought directly from a famous company in Caltagirone, was painted by Salvatore, who painted it inspired by the “DecoroStoffa”, starting what would later be one of the most famous businesses from Deruta. Salvatore’s son Carlo, now runs the family business, called “CF DERUTA”. Today the production of classic decorations, bringstraditional designs back to the contemporary in colors & shapes.

CF Deruta produces exceptional holiday décor for Biordi Art Imports.

Italian ceramics are heirloom quality products, and can last lifetime with proper care. We have some suggestions that will preserve your majolica for years to come.

Majolica is dishwasher safe, but many people choose to hand wash their pieces as a precaution. Because majolica is a porous material, some pieces are not meant to hold liquid for a long period of time. Check for warning labels before ordering a product, as the pieces that are most notorious for "sweating" are appropriately labeled.

Majolica is sensitive to extreme temperatures, specifically boiling or freezing liquids. Pouring water with a rolling boil directly into a teapot, for example, may lead to breakage. To avoid this, temper the object. The industry standard is 620 degrees Celsius (1,148 degrees Fahrenheit). Quench the glass to cool it.

Crazing is common in well used majolica. The tiny cracks in the glaze do not affect the functionality of your majolica.

Majolica hand-crafted products should not be microwaved, as it may crack and/or break the ceramics.
