AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare porcelain plate produced by Rosenthal Studio-Line, designed by the renowned artist James Rizzi.

The plate features a cobalt blue background with New York's lively skyline and cheerful characters celebrating the first Christmas of the third millennium.

Diameter: 33 cm.

Rare item, in perfect condition.

James Rizzi (1950–2011) was an iconic American Pop artist, famous for his vibrant, joyful works that depict New York City's urban life.

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.
