Deruta Galletto Blue Butter Dish

This ceramic butter dish was handcrafted and painted by the artists Sberna in Deruta, Italy. The Galletto pattern is a modified version of a pattern that came out of the Umbrian town of Orvieto in the 13^th century.  In the 19^th century, centuries after Deruta had become the center of Umbrian ceramics, a rooster was added to the pattern and the leaves were also modernized.  As well as being a lovely addition to the pattern, the rooster is said to bring good fortune to the home.
