A Deruta Majolica Bowl, Early 17th Century, Deruta ItalyA mid 17th century majolica bowl from Deruta Italy. The colorful bowl is painted with characteristic patterns and the design of the "Raffaellesco" dragon from the Deruta brand. The central panel shows a mythological figure resting on the ground with an Italian landscape on the back with a molded rim.
Deruta, a medieval hill in Umbria, Italy, is primarily known as a major center of majolica (tin-painted earthenware) production during the Renaissance and later. Pottery production is documented in the early Middle Ages, although no surviving pieces can be firmly attributed to it before around 1490. It reached its artistic peak in the 15th and early 16th centuries. This piece has been restored. 35cm in diameter 10cm high.
