The Raffaellesco Decorative Rectangular Tray is a stunning piece from the Raffaellesco Collection. This tray features one of the most beloved Italian majolica patterns, beautifully originating from the 16th century. The elegant arabesques take inspiration from Raphael's renowned frescoes.
At the heart of the design is a stylized dragon, a motif first illustrated by the legendary artist Raphael, who significantly influenced the Italian High Renaissance. This benevolent dragon symbolizes good fortune and favorable winds for merchants navigating the seas, with whimsical puffs of wind depicted in its mouth.
Handcrafted in Deruta, Italy, this tray is not only a piece of art but also functional. It is made from materials that are lead and cadmium free, ensuring safety for everyday use.
While it is dishwasher safe, it is not recommended for microwave use. Each item is unique, with slight variations in design that add to its charm.
