Description from the seller
Tea set consisting of 6 cups with saucers, teapot, and sugar bowl in ceramic, hand-painted, produced probably by a workshop under Cantagalli of Florence, a highlight of 20th-century ceramic art.
Each piece of the set reproduces the factory's typical motif with two flowers at the center, one yellow and one blue, and around them green vegetation described with a few simple strokes.
Each piece of the set is in excellent condition.
Cup measurements: 10.5 x 13 x 8.5 cm
Rare item
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
