AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A piece of Italian design history. These tiles are highly sought after by collectors because they represent the moment when Ponti transformed an industrial object (the tile) into a canvas for modern art. The subject, a stylized figure of a woman with a basket who is eating an apple, is typical of Gio Ponti's narrative series that he created for Richard Ginori between 1923 and 1930. On the back you can see the originality seal. Tile framed in a guilloché ebony frame, perfect to enhance the prestige of Gio Ponti ceramics. The frame measures 33x33 cm. The tile measures 15x15 cm.
