While some works incorporated biblical or narrative scenes, others were influenced from the re-discovery of Roman ruins and mythology. The wares have become known for their signature color combination of orangey-reds, cadmium yellows, royal blues, and emerald greens. Deruta became a major center for Maiolica during the Renaissance and continued to the tradition throughout the centuries. In the twentieth century, Serafino Volpi was one of the celebrated painters and ceramicists to revive the classic Renaissance style for the Maiolica Deruta company. These hand-painted Italian vases were created in the early-to-mid-twentieth century by Serafino Volpi in Deruta, Italy. They feature arabesques (or intertwining foliage) along with grotesques (or designs that intermix animal, human, and plant forms) and illustrate classical patterns.
