Stratificata Espresso Cup & Saucer | Hand-Painted Italian Espresso Set from Deruta

The Stratificata Espresso Cup & Saucer brings the artistry and character of traditional Deruta ceramics to the daily ritual of espresso. Hand-painted by skilled artisans in Deruta, Italy, warm golden yellow petal-like forms create the primary decorative motif, framed and defined by rich cobalt blue borders and linework.

The repeating petal motif wraps around the espresso cup and continues onto the coordinating saucer, bringing warmth, movement, and rhythm to the small scale of the set. Against the luminous white ground, the golden yellow gives the design its distinctive character while the cobalt detailing provides structure, definition, and contrast.

Perfectly sized for serving authentic espresso, the cup and matching saucer bring a sense of occasion to everything from a quiet morning coffee to the final course of a dinner with friends. Used on its own or alongside other pieces from the Stratificata collection, the set extends the character of the table through the final espresso.

Each cup and saucer is individually hand-painted using techniques passed down through generations. Subtle variations in the shape of the petals, brushwork, line weight, color, and glaze reveal the hand of the artisan and give each set its own character.

Crafted using traditional techniques and double-fired for lasting beauty, the Stratificata Espresso Cup & Saucer celebrates the Italian tradition of slowing down, sharing conversation, and enjoying the rituals that surround the table.
