Deruta Ceramic / Maiolica Espresso Cup (80 cc) | Raphaelesque Design
Transform your espresso moment into a ritual of pure beauty with the Raphaelesque Espresso Cup by Bettini Deruta. This piece of Deruta Ceramic draws inspiration from the frescoes of the Vatican Loggias painted by Raphael, offering the iconic “dragon” motif in a harmonious and welcoming form. Entirely hand‑painted by our skilled artisans, this cup enhances the aroma of coffee thanks to the superior quality of our maiolica, turning every sip into an experience of unmatched elegance.
The Art of the Raphaelesque Design
The Raphaelesque motif is a masterpiece of balance and refinement. The dragon—an heraldic symbol of strength and nobility—stands gracefully among floral scrolls that wrap around the cup, creating a composition that captivates at first glance. The chromatic harmony of blue, yellow, and green tones applied over a glossy white glaze gives this cup a special brightness, ideal for enriching your coffee service with a touch of history and prestige.
