Preloved Grazia Maioliche Majolica Italian Ceramic Green Rooster Ornament - Handcrafted in DerutaItaly

Preloved Grazia Maioliche Italian Majolica Ceramic Green Rooster Ornament - Handcrafted in Deruta Italy 🇮🇹

This preloved Grazia Maioliche majolica ceramic piece has been hand painted with a gorgeous green rooster design. Years ago roosters saved many lives as they would alert the villages of the enemy approaching. The Medicis sent many families of Gallina a ceramic rooster as a symbol of good luck, protection, and prosperity.

The Grazia family began producing majolica in 1500, evidenced from documents and from Grazia’s original kilns situated within Deruta’s old town walls. Historically, their most important clients were noble families, convents and the Church who began to use and sell our products to pilgrims visiting the tomb of Saint Francis in Assisi.

Today, they continue to supply private clients directly and supply some high-end specialty stores in many major American cities.
Umbria’s long-standing tradition of fine art is reflected in every Grazia product. Traditional majolica forms, with their ageless character, account for an important part of the production of the historic Grazia factory.
