ARTISAN STORY

Tommassini is a family owned workshop in the hills of Deruta. Father, wife and son work together creating the most beautifully painted highly functional Italian majolica utensils, pepper grinders and glassware. 

This is Biordi’s most appreciated pattern of classic Italian dinnerware and pottery. The stylized dragon, seen as the central motif, was reputedly painted in the 16th century by Raphael, the master painter and architect of the Italian High Renaissance. The Raffaellesco dragon has come to be known as a benevolent deity who bestows good luck and fair winds to seagoing merchants, thus the puffs of wind steaming from the dragon’s mouth.  It is hailed as one of Deruta’s most challenging designs of any Majolica out there, as its intricacy requires an unimaginably steady hand.
