Bettini Deruta | Breakfast Cup with Saucer | Majolica Ceramic | Raphaelesque Pattern
Our breakfast cup with saucer in majolica ceramic is a masterpiece entirely handmade in the Bettini Deruta workshop. Each piece is created from selected clay and shaped by the skill of our master ceramists, who carry on a centuries‑old tradition of passion and precision.
The Raphaelesque pattern represents the pinnacle of Deruta refinement. Inspired by the famous 16th‑century grotesques, this motif is distinguished by the presence of the mythological good‑fortune dragon, surrounded by delicate scrolls and multicoloured details on a white background. A design that evokes nobility and history, turning every morning into a moment of pure beauty.
Ideal for enjoying milk, cappuccino, tea or herbal infusions, this set combines classical artistry with modern practicality. The majolica, finished with high‑quality glazes, is resistant to daily use and preserves the brilliance of its original colours over time.
Safety is our priority: all Bettini Deruta ceramics are made with certified lead‑free materials and are completely safe for food use. Thanks to high‑temperature firing, both the cup and saucer are dishwasher‑safe, bringing together the value of craftsmanship and the convenience needed in the kitchen.
