  • Produced by Ceramiche Volpi Deruta, an influential mid-century studio created by Giovanni Volpi (who notably co-founded the iconic C.A.M.A.
  • Deruta studio in 1928), highly regarded for bold atomic, abstract, and post-war modernist designs.   Showcases striking Mid-Century Modern aesthetic details: a rippled satin black body adorned with vibrant raised enamel mosaic accents in turquoise, yellow, red, and lavender, contrasting white abstract geometric motifs, and intricate white lace-like glaze along the corners.
