Orvieto Red 'Galletto' Rooster Deruta Maiolica Deep Pasta / Soup Plate 24cm is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
A deep pasta or soup plate full of rustic charm and homely comfort.
An exquisite piece of Maiolica pottery featuring the 'galletto' rooster design. The symbol of the rooster is much loved in Italy and represents good luck, prosperity and protection of the home.
Perfect for serving up warm pasta, stews, soups. Its traditional design and pattern will liven up any table and make for a comfortable and cosy dining experience.
Made in Deruta using Italian clay, it is carefully prepared and shaped by hand using a potter's wheel or mould to form the item. The raw clay item is left to air-dry for 20 days before being fired at over 1000°C and left to cool in the kiln for over 24 hours to produce the porous 'biscuitware'.
The next step in this highly complex process is to coat the 'biscuitware' in a mineral glaze to make the piece impermeable and to produce a gleaming white background. Traditionally tin was used as the glaze.
Once the glaze has dried the item is ready for painting. Each piece of earthenware is hand painted by a skilled painter using their steady hand and generations of experience to produce the vibrant and eye catching designs. The finished painted pieces are then glazed and fired for a second time at over 900°C. The heat changes the paint's colours on the pottery to reveal its final transformation.
This time consuming production method and beautiful designs make Deruta pottery unique, rare and precious.

Each piece due to its handmade nature has imperfections, which are a sign of authenticity, adding to its overall beauty and artisanal quality.

What's inside?
A sneak peek to show you how we package up our parcels.
Each item is scrutinised before being sent. We only send items that reach our quality standards. Wooden items, such as handles, might feel a bit rough from the manufacturer. Our team in the UK hand sand some of these items to make sure the item is at its best.
We hand wrap delicate items before sending them to you to ensure they are protected and reach you in perfect condition. We don't believe in excessive packaging and believe the tools speak for themselves.
We hope to do our bit for the environment and reduce plastic waste. Most of our packaging is paper based and is non-laminated, which can be easily recycled or composted at home.
We aim to reuse materials and packaging where possible and this is usually the only plastic you will find in your parcel. This plastic protection can also be recycled.
