Ricco Deruta Deluxe: Mug (10 oz.)

This isn't just a coffee mug or tea vessel—it's a functional work of art. The Ricco pattern, meaning "rich" in Italian, stands as Deruta's most iconic design, originating in the 16th century and inspired by Renaissance frescoes created by master painter Pietro Perugino. Every time you reach for this ceramic piece, you're holding a connection to centuries of European pottery tradition.

Hand-painted by skilled artisans in the medieval hilltop town of Deruta, Italy, each mug features vibrant Renaissance colors: royal blue, yellow gold, and emerald green. The intricate scrollwork and floral details create a striking visual statement, whether displayed in your kitchen, used at the dining table, or showcased on a shelf. This custom mug transforms a simple morning beverage into a moment of appreciation for fine craftsmanship.

DERUTA OF ITALY uses only food-safe glazes and colors formulated to meet rigorous safety standards.
