Starbucks Deruta Sberna Italy 1999-2001 Mugs & Coasters Set / Early Exclusive For Sale

Starbucks Deruta Sberna Italy 1999-2001 Mugs & Coasters Set - Early Exclusive Starbucks Coffee Company Stamp - 4 Mugs + 4 Coasters, Light Coaster WearBeautiful complete set of four hand-painted ceramic mugs and four matching ceramic coasters, created exclusively for Starbucks by the artisans of Sberna Deruta, Italy. These pieces were produced in small batches between 1999 and 2001 as part of Starbuck's limited Italian pottery collaboration, making them highly collectible today. Each mug and coaster features classic Deruta geometric and floral motifs, individually hand-painted with vibrant colors and traditional brushwork. The bottoms carry the original "Made Exclusively for Starbucks Coffee Company - Sberna- Deruta-Italy" stamp, confirming early era production.
Condition:Two mugs were used only a couple of times and show no spoon marks, scratches, or interior wear. The remaining two mugs are unused. The four ceramic coasters were lightly used and have minor chips along the edges consistent with gentle vintage wear. Paint is crisp, glaze is glossy, and all pieces are free of cracks or structural flaws. Please note: The small rubber bumpers originally applied to the bottoms of the coasters have come off over time and are missing on all four. This is common with vintage Deruta coaster sets and does not affect display or use.Complete coordinated sets like this - especially with all four matching coasters - are extremely hard to find. Perfect for Starbucks collectors, Italian pottery enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates handcrafted artisan ceramics. Ships carefully packed for safe arrival.
Updated Estimated Value (2026 market) $200-$280 depending on buyer type.*Fast Sale $199-$225 * Collector Sale: $239-$269
Why this range works:* The mugs remain the star of the set -two unused, two barely used, no utensil wear.*The coasters are still rare and desireable even with minor chips.*Complete sets still command a premium because collectors almost never find all four matching coasters.*Minor chips are expected for 25 year old Deruta pottery and don't tank value.
How the coaster chips affect value: Minor edge chips on vintage Deruta coasters:*Are common due to the ceramic composition.*Do not affect mug value.*Reduce total set value by about 10-15%, not more.*Matter less because coasters were produced in tiny qualities and are rarely found at all.
Your set still sits comfortably in the collector-grade category.
