Raffaellesco Espresso Cup and Saucer Handmade in Italy

Discover the timeless elegance of the Raffaellesco Espresso Cup and Saucer, part of one of the most popular and enduring Italian majolica patterns. Originating from the 16th century, this design features the graceful arabesques inspired by Raphael's famous frescoes, a master painter and architect of the Italian High Renaissance.

The stylized dragon central to the motif, reputedly first painted by Raphael, symbolizes a benevolent deity bestowing good luck and fair winds to seagoing merchants, as depicted by the puffs of wind streaming from the dragon's mouth. This espresso cup and saucer set is handmade in Deruta, Italy, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
