DESCRIPTION The La Colombe Espresso Cup/Saucer, in the black and white color-way, was handmade and painted in Italy. This is from Biordi's 2021 Caffe Collection. The small imperfections such as the difference in color, shape, diameter or small bubbles that form inside, do not constitute a defect but testify that it is actually an artisanal product. Artisan Story La Colombe - This is Biordi’s newest Classic Deruta design. The pattern is black and white adorned with the Raffaellesco stylized dragon, seen as the central motif, was reputedly painted in the 16th century by Raphael, the master painter and architect of the Italian High Renaissance. The Raffaellesco dragon has come to be known as a benevolent deity who bestows good luck and fair winds to seagoing merchants, thus the puffs of wind steaming from the dragon’s mouth. It is hailed as one of Deruta’s most challenging designs, as its intricacy requires an unimaginably steady hand.
