Platter of luck

The Raffaellesco pattern was inspired by Raphael’s 16th century frescoes in the Vatican palace. It is said that the central motif of this pattern, the dragon, symbolizes a benevolent deity who brought good luck to the sailors of the time. Today, it is commonly believed that having a piece of Raffaellesco in your home brings blessings and good luck.
