Deruta of Italy Raffaellesco Lite: Mug (10 oz)
The DERUTA OF ITALY RAFFAELLESCO LITE: Mug (10 Oz) brings timeless Italian ceramic craftsmanship to your daily coffee or tea ritual. This handpainted mug combines the iconic Raffaellesco design—Italy's most recognizable ceramic pattern—with a refined, minimalist aesthetic that works for both everyday sipping and elegant entertaining.
Crafted by FIMA, Deruta's renowned factory since 1960, each mug undergoes dual kiln-firing to guarantee durability and strength. The result is a piece that feels authentically Italian while maintaining a cleaner, more contemporary look than traditional heavily decorated dinnerware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DERUTA OF ITALY RAFFAELLESCO LITE: Mug (10 Oz) microwave safe?
Yes, this mug is 100% food safe and dishwasher safe. While microwave use is generally compatible with hand-painted ceramics, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the painted design over time.
What makes this mug different from standard Raffaellesco designs?
The Lite version simplifies the traditionally ornate Raffaellesco pattern for a more versatile, contemporary aesthetic. You get authentic Italian craftsmanship and the iconic design at a more accessible price point.
Will the hand-painted design fade?
The dual kiln-firing process bonds the paint permanently to the ceramic body. Normal dishwashing won't fade the design, though hand-washing extends the vibrancy over decades of use.
