The vibrant Raffaello pattern on this ensemble traces its heritage to none other than the Renaissance Master, Raphael.
Raphael frequently painted a stylized dragon, a symbol believed to bring fair winds and luck to seagoing merchants.
RAFFAELLO Collection: Among the most popular and enduring Italian majolica patterns, the classic Raffaellesco traces its origin to 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
dragons mouth. | | | Features: | |
