Review of DERUTA Espresso cup & saucer [Prod. 006-ANT]

Form and function at its highest expression of espresso drinking. Got it for my wife for her birthday, and she melted - loves it. These are all hand-painted in Italy, so there are the telltale variations, thus no two are exactly the same. The people in this tiny town in Italy have been doing majellica for hundreds of years, they know what they're doing. The vendor was excellent - it arrived from Italy quickly and in perfect condition. Comes with a catalog showing the full range of products - if you furnished your kitchen and house with this stuff (they have tables costing $5,000) you'd probably think you were hallucinating, but this little item is perfect.

Product Description
DERUTA Collection: Throughout the years, our Antico Deruta collection has been always considered the most formal depiction of the Ricco Deruta pattern. Its classic "Arabesque" decorative pattern is composed of rhythmic, curvilinear designs painted in a unique combination of regal blue and bright yellow. The foliated scrollwork motif featured in this collection was also employed in the architectural decorations of late Roman and Renaissance periods.
