History of Deruta Pottery and CeramicIf official documents do establish that pottery and ceramic has been produced in Deruta since the XIIIth century, we have reasons to believe that the beginning of such an activity has to be established at least one century earlier. Anyway, at the end of the XIIIth century, Deruta had produced so many ceramics that it could pay the charges imposed to the city by Perugia in vases instead of money. At the end of the XIVth century, Deruta had for that reason hold a position of "regional" producer of pottery, ceramics and majolica and was, so to say, exporting. In fact, according to evidences, as early as in 1358 Deruta had exported more than one thousand vases in ceramics to Assisi, homeland of Saint Francesco, place where the need for pottery articles for the table and ceramic souvenirs for the pilgrims come to visit the tomb of the Saint was high. |
