Description from the seller
A refined fine porcelain dinner service by Richard Ginori, crafted in the elegant Forma Impero, a model of classical taste introduced and developed by the historic Florentine manufactory in the course of the twentieth century, appreciated for its balanced, restrained, and harmonious lines, inspired by neoclassical aesthetics.
The service is embellished with a refined polychrome fish motif, featuring naturalistic depictions of several fish species, accompanied by delicate plant elements and small aquatic details. Each subject is executed with great painterly finesse and attention to detail, making each plate slightly different and particularly interesting from a collectible standpoint as well. The soft, well-calibrated tones create an elegant and lively overall effect, capable of enhancing the pristine white surface of the porcelain without weighing it down.
The Empire form, recognizable by its full, slightly stepped profile, frames the decoration with formal rigor and balance, while the cobalt blue border with a thin gold filigree adds depth and prestige to the whole, creating a refined contrast with the bright white porcelain.
An item of particular value is the soup tureen with lid, whose slender, conical shape of the cover recalls, in terms of volumetric setting and elegance, that of the tajine, reinterpreted here in a cultivated and neoclassical key. This profile endows the piece with a distinctive character and a strong stage presence, while maintaining the sobriety and harmony inherent in the Empire Style. The soup tureen, perfectly coordinated with the rest of the service in decoration and finishes, completes the ensemble and significantly enhances its overall value, both functional and collectible.
