A wonderful gift for a Green Rooster collector, an Italy enthusiast, or anyone who believes the kitchen deserves as much personality as the living room.

A bold, colorful cockerel appears on both sides, surrounded by large abstract florals, geometric cross motifs, and the warm earthy palette that has made Deruta ceramics celebrated the world over for five centuries. The urn shape, with its elegant twin handles and gently flared neck, gives this vase a classical presence that works equally well on a kitchen shelf, a farmhouse sideboard, a cottage windowsill, or a maximalist bookcase. Deruta is a hilltop town in Umbria, central Italy, that has been producing majolica ceramics since the 13th century. It remains one of the world's most important centers of hand-painted pottery, and the Green Rooster — Gallo Verde — is among its most iconic and widely recognized patterns.
