Italian hand-painted Orvieto 'Galletto' espresso coffee cup and saucer
A single, hand-painted, Italian espresso cup and saucer in the bright teal/turquoise green Orvieto pattern with a central cockerel on each piece.
Orvieto is a very old and traditional pattern that originated during the Renaissance period in the hill-top town of Orvieto in Italy. The Galletto (cockerel) motif symbolizes good wishes for prosperity and well-being.
Each piece is handpainted and so the decoration is not exactly identical, giving each piece its own character and charm.

Each cup:
- Height approx. 5.5cm
- Width approx. 8.5cm including handle
