Each piece is hand-painted and hand-signed by the Sberna workshop in Deruta, Italy — marked “Sberna Deruta Italy Dipinto a Mano” (painted by hand) on the base.

This is a special commission design, confirmed directly by Franca Sberna of Ceramiche Sberna, produced approximately 20 years ago — likely for Nordstrom — and not part of a standard production run. The pattern name is unrecorded, making this set exceptionally rare.

The collection includes 7 pieces:

• Large oval serving platter (15” L x 11.5” W)
• Large serving bowl (13.25” diameter x 4.75” H)
• Oil and vinegar cruet set with caddy and original stoppers (caddy 7.75” H x 6.5” L x 3.75” D)
• Creamer with saucer
• Lidded sugar bowl with saucer

All pieces are in excellent condition — no chips, cracks, or signs of use. Original stoppers intact. See less
