From a private Italian collection
Curated artisan ceramic plates
A timeless expression of Umbrian ceramic tradition, the Ricco Deruta Dessert Plate brings the unmistakable beauty of classic Italian maiolica to the table.

The celebrated Ricco Deruta pattern is distinguished by its exuberant scrolling foliage, stylized florals, and graceful Renaissance-inspired ornamentation. Rich cobalt blue, emerald and teal green, ruby red, golden yellow, and warm orange create a vibrant border around the softly glazed ivory center.

Measuring approximately 7 inches in diameter, this beautifully proportioned plate is ideal for desserts, pastries, fruit, antipasti, or a treasured slice of torta served alongside espresso. Its richly decorated border also makes it beautiful displayed on open shelving or incorporated into a collection of traditional Italian ceramics.

The open ivory center allows food to remain the visual focus, while the elaborate surrounding decoration creates an elegant frame—a hallmark of the enduring Ricco Deruta aesthetic.

Whether used to build a colorful Italian table setting, mixed with complementary Deruta patterns, or collected individually, this dessert plate captures the warmth, artistry, and decorative abundance associated with the ceramics of Deruta, Umbria.

ARTISAN STORY

In the hilltop town of Deruta, Italy—the heart of Italian maiolica pottery for over 500 years—the famous Ricco Deruta design is made. 

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.
