Description from the seller

Magnificent complete coffee service for 12 people – Richard Ginori – 'Greek Scenes' – White porcelain with brown gold decorations
IMPERO Model

Italy, 1960s, 1980s, 1990s.

Refined and charming twelve-person coffee service, crafted by Richard Ginori, renowned for the famous series inspired by Greek scenes from ancient red-figure Attic vases.
A rare example of Italian design bridging classical art and modernist taste, born in the sixties as a conversation piece and collectible item.

The service, in fine white porcelain, features a brown and gold-colored decoration enclosed within medallions with geometric motifs, with simple monochrome borders that enhance its elegance.
Each scene is reproduced with great precision and taste, making this set a sophisticated, ironic ensemble with a strong visual impact.

Composition:
12 coffee cups
12 small plates
1 coffee maker with lid
1 milk jug
1 sugar bowl with lid
• 1 coordinated oval tray

Excellent overall condition, with minimal signs of use and age. No obvious damage. Decorations perfectly preserved.

Brand: Richard Ginori – Italy (under green enamel, as shown in the photo).

An unusual, refined, and highly charming collectible service, rare to find complete and in such good condition.
Perfect for those who love the fusion of ancient art, Italian design, and cultured irony, or to embellish a vintage interior with a touch of history and style.

Seller's Story

Collectors, vintage, and design. In a small seaside village.
