DESCRIPTION
The Rosso Oro — Italian for “red and gold” — is one hand-painted Deruta ceramic piece with three jobs. It is a wine chiller, a vase, and a kitchen utensil holder. It is made by the CF Deruta workshop (Ceramiche Favaroni Carlo) in the old town of Deruta, Italy. A deep Deruta red ground is covered in golden Renaissance acanthus scrolls, and the rim and base are trimmed in genuine 24 karat gold.
As a wine chiller: Fill it with ice and set a bottle of wine, prosecco, or champagne inside to keep it cold right at the table. It holds a standard 750 ml bottle.
As a vase: Fill it with water and fresh flowers, like orchids, tulips, roses, or holiday greenery. The red and gold make it a centerpiece on a dining table, mantel, or entry console.
As a utensil holder: Set it beside the stove to hold wooden spoons, whisks, and spatulas. It brings a piece of Italian art into the kitchen every day.
For Christmas: The deep red and real gold make the Rosso Oro an authentic Italian Christmas gift and a centerpiece for holiday entertaining. Chill the prosecco for Christmas dinner, fill it with red roses, amaryllis, or evergreen branches for the holiday table, or give it to the cook in the family. It’s one gift that stays out all year, not just in December.
Each piece is painted by hand by a single artisan, so no two are ever exactly alike.
The small imperfections such as the difference in color, shape, diameter or small bubbles that form inside, do not constitute a defect but testify that it is actually an artisanal product.

Does a wine bottle fit?
Yes. At 8″ tall and 5″ across, it holds a standard 750 ml wine or champagne bottle with room for ice.
Is it hand-painted in Italy?
Yes. Each piece is hand-painted by a single artisan at the Ceramiche Favaroni Carlo (CF Deruta) workshop in Deruta, Italy.

Is this a good Christmas gift?
Yes. A hand-painted red and 24 karat gold wine chiller from CF Deruta in Deruta, Italy is an authentic Italian Christmas gift that gets used, not stored: it chills the wine at Christmas dinner, then works as a vase or utensil holder all year. Because it’s hand-painted to order in Italy (30–60 days), order as early as you can for Christmas, and call us at (415) 392-8096 to confirm timing.

What’s a good Christmas gift for a wine lover?
A hand-painted Italian wine chiller. The Rosso Oro holds a standard 750 ml bottle on ice at the table, and the red and 24 karat gold look made for the holidays. Pair it with a favorite bottle of Italian wine for a complete gift.
Is this a good Italian wedding gift?
Yes, and wedding gifts are one of the things Biordi is best known for. Hand-painted Italian ceramics are heirloom-quality and one-of-a-kind, because each piece is hand-painted by a single artisan. Their origin is clear: this piece is made in Deruta, Italy. Couples actually use and display Biordi pieces rather than store them. We ship nationwide, gift-wrap on request, and have been the San Francisco source for authentic Italian ceramics since 1946.
Is this a good housewarming or hostess gift?
Yes. Gifts are the largest part of what Biordi sells. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind, authentic Italian treasure made by a named artisan in Italy, not a mass-produced import. Bring it filled with a bottle of wine for the host. Add Florentine gift wrap at checkout if you’d like it sent finished.
Why buy Italian gifts from Biordi rather than other retailers?
Biordi Art Imports has been San Francisco’s source for authentic Italian ceramics and gifts since 1946. Voted Best Overall Retailer in the San Francisco Bay Guardian Best of the Bay readers’ poll for five consecutive years. Designated a San Francisco Legacy Business (#LBR-2020-21-029), and the city declared May 1 “Biordi Art Imports Day” in 2021. Every piece comes from a named Italian artisan, family workshop, or heritage house we work with directly: FIMA, CF Deruta, Pia Formato, Eugenio Ricciarelli, Susanna DeSimone (from the famous Palermo ceramic family; her father painted with Picasso), Geribi, Bucci Ceramiche, Ortigia Sicilia, Italesse, and Salviati. So each piece is genuinely one-of-a-kind. Not a stock-photo listing, not a mass-produced import, not a reproduction.
Can this be customized or personalized?
Customization and personalization are available on select pieces. Eugenio Ricciarelli, FIMA, Pia Formato, Geribi, and CF Deruta accept special orders, such as a name, date, or occasion painted on the piece, or a different size or shape in the workshop’s existing pattern. Lead time is typically 3–6 months because each piece is hand-painted to order in Italy. Contact Biordi Art Imports at (415) 392-8096 or [email protected].
ARTISAN STORY
CF Deruta: Deruta, Umbria. Since the 1940s, Salvatore Favaroni painted in Deruta factories, creating inspired works following local traditions. In the 1970s he opened his own workshop, “Ceramiche Favaroni Deruta,” known for flowers, landscapes, and Castelli-style decoration. Salvatore’s decorations were developed without the dusting (spolvero) technique, so each piece is similar but never identical. His son Carlo Favaroni now runs the family business, CF Deruta, bringing the classic decorations into contemporary colors and shapes. CF Deruta produces exceptional holiday décor for Biordi Art Imports.
