The famed Medicis ruled Florence during the Renaissance. Comprised of bankers and wool merchants, the influential family were patrons of the arts and contributed greatly to the prosperity of Florence. The traditional Medici coat of arms is beautiful and ornate with colors of red, blue, and gold, and Medici Colorati takes a colorful spin on it by highlighting one of those components: the palle, or balls. At once historic and contemporary, the Medici Colorati Blue Large Round Platter honors Italian heritage while also exuding fresh inspiration.
