Description from the seller
GALBA Ceramic Service – Hand-painted – 6 people + large oval – Rare and complete
Beautiful 6-piece tableware set from Ceramica GALBA, a historic Italian manufacturer specializing in decorations entirely hand-painted.
The set features a lively multicolored floral pattern, created with broad, textured brushstrokes reminiscent of the Ginori Mondovì school of the 1950s–60s, but with a more contemporary freshness and an even more artisanal craftsmanship.
The peculiarity of GALBA's production is indeed the complete manual craftsmanship of the decoration, visible in the color variations, brush overlaps, and the 'lively' character of the compositions: each plate is truly a one-of-a-kind piece.
Composition
6 flat dishes
6 deep plates
6 fruit/dessert dishes
Large oval serving dish

The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Features
• Brand: Ceramica GALBA

The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Conditions
Service in excellent/very good overall condition, very uniform.
minimal signs of time or use

The large oval plate is also in excellent condition, extremely rare to find paired with the complete set.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Note on rarity and comparison
In style and technique, the service recalls the tradition of Ginori Mondovì, with which it shares:
the wide floral decoration
the brushstrokes visible by hand
The lively and characteristic painting style of Italian ceramics after the war.
Unlike the most common Mondovì decorations, GALBA's production is much rarer on the collector's market: it is indeed a craft workshop with limited production volumes, often made to order, which makes these sets particularly sought after by enthusiasts of authentic Italian ceramics painted by hand.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Perfect for…
Italian ceramics collectors
• country chic kitchens / seaside houses / rustic-modern environments
window dressing, photographic presentations, scenic mise-en-place
• someone looking for a genuine vintage service, not an industrial one.
