Bettini Deruta | Tea Cup with Saucer | Deruta Majolica Ceramic | Blue Arabesque Pattern
Rediscover the pleasure of tea with our handcrafted majolica tea cup with saucer, entirely made and hand‑painted in the Bettini Deruta workshop. The Arabesque motif is a universal symbol of Deruta ceramics, appreciated for centuries for its understated elegance and joyful spirit.
The Blue Arabesque pattern features the legendary stylized bird, surrounded by a dense weave of small branches and leaves painted freehand. The choice of cobalt blue on a white majolica background creates a clean, refined contrast, evoking Mediterranean atmospheres and a timeless country‑chic style. Each piece is unique, the result of the quick and precise movement of our artisans’ brushes.
Designed to enhance tea, herbal blends and aromatic infusions, the cup offers perfect ergonomics. Thanks to the superior quality of Deruta majolica, it ensures excellent thermal retention, allowing you to enjoy your beverage at the ideal temperature. The glossy glaze protects the colours and keeps them bright and easy to maintain over time.
For us at Bettini Deruta, quality goes hand in hand with safety: we use only certified lead‑free materials, completely safe for food contact. High‑temperature firing guarantees solidity, making the set dishwasher‑safe and suitable for frequent daily use.
