Deruta Galletto Green 8" Olive Oil Bottle ("Olio")

Bring the vibrant colors and artistry of Italy into your home with this Deruta Galletto Green olive oil bottle.

The Galletto pattern grew out of 13th-century ceramics from the Umbrian town of Orvieto. In the 19th century, Deruta's artisans added the rooster and modernized the leaves. The rooster is said to bring good fortune, thanks to a 15th-century legend in which crowing roosters warned Giuliano de' Medici of approaching assassins.
