Butter Dish “Galletto Blue”

The Galletto, the little rooster of the Umbrian pottery tradition, is a symbol of good luck and of the start of a new day. Here he is painted in cobalt blue among stylized leaves, with tiny black crosses, a yellow band and a twisted blue rope border on the tray: Deruta rooster pottery that pairs easily with blue and white kitchens.

This covered butter dish holds a standard stick of butter under a domed lid with a comfortable handle. It measures 8.5 × 4.5 in and stands 4 in tall (22 × 11 × 10 cm). Each piece is shaped and hand painted in traditional Deruta majolica, with lead-free, food-safe glazes, and it is microwave and dishwasher safe.

Handmade by MOD Ceramics in Deruta, Italy, and shipped fully insured directly from Italy. We can also reproduce this piece in a different shape or decoration – just get in touch.
