This Deruta Orvieto Butter Dish is rich with colour and brilliance and one of the highest quality. Galletto Orvieto is a pattern that originated during the Renaissance in the hill top town of Orvieto Italy and inspired by the paintings of animals on Italian Majolica. A quaint, charming provincial pattern that features a “Galletto” Rooster that symbolizes blessings, prosperity and good wishes. Dish is ample size to hold butter, cream cheese, or a wedge of Parmigiano Reggiano while adding Italian elegance to your table. Kindly note the new arrivals from Italy have a new handle (last photo) and this is the style we will be shipping.
