Deruta Galletto Blue 12X6″ Serving Tray

Galletto is a modified version of a pattern that came from Orvieto in the 13^th century. In the 19^th century, centuries after Deruta became the center of Umbrian ceramics, a rooster was added to the pattern. As well as being a lovely addition to the pattern, the rooster is said to bring good fortune because of a legend about the Medici family from the 15^th century in which crowing roosters alerted Giuliano de Medici to approaching hired assassins.
