Hand-painted ceramics is L’Antica Deruta’s specialty as it has been since 1950. That’s when Alviero Moretti started the company as a small atelier manually working with clay on a wheel using techniques dating back to the 15th and 16th century. The shop, now owned by the 4th generation, Giorgio and Camilla Morretti, follows Deruta’s ceramic tradition, keeping the tradition alive. Their boldly colored, intricately painted designs are what separates Deruta’s world-renowned majolica pottery from other types of ceramics.
