Deruta of Italy Faenza-Carnation: Mug (10 oz.)

Bring authentic Italian ceramics to your daily routine with this DERUTA OF ITALY mug, featuring the iconic Faenza Carnation pattern. This timeless design originates from Faenza, Italy's renowned City of Ceramics, where artisans have perfected pottery for centuries. The delicate carnation motif is said to have been inspired by Marco Polo's travels to the Orient, blending Eastern elegance with Italian craftsmanship.

Each piece is double-fired for durability and finished with food-safe glazes that comply with FDA standards. Unlike many ceramic collections, this mug features a subtle light blue background—a hallmark of authentic Faenza design that mirrors original antique pieces rather than plain white glazing.
