ABOUT THE RAFFAELLESCO DESIGN
Among the most popular and enduring Italian majolica patterns, the classic 'Raffaellesco' traces its origin to the 16th century, and the graceful arabesques of Raphael's famous frescoes.
The stylized dragon of the central motif was reputedly painted first by Raphael, a master painter and architect of the Italian High Renaissance.
Raffaellesco is a benevolent deity who bestows good luck and fair winds to seagoing merchants, thus the puffs of wind steaming from the dragon’s mouth.
Our Raffaellesco Deluxe features authentic, top-of-the-line products, created using the original designs and patterns and masterfully hand-painted in the original royal blue, yellow gold, and green, creating a brilliant elegance that brings royal elegance to your table.
