Description from the seller
Splendid service signed Henriette San Marino with the refined charm typical of the 60s. A true jewel of Italian mid-century ceramic design, characterized by a fresh and sophisticated aesthetic: a dense cobalt blue lattice that frames delicate floral bouquets on a milk-white background. The sinuous shapes and the meticulously crafted details, such as the molded handles and the bud-shaped knobs, make this set a perfect example of how Sammarinese craftsmanship could unite tradition and modernity. Perfect for a classy breakfast or to enrich a display window with a piece of design history.
Lot composition:
- 12 tea cups
- 12 saucers
- 1 sugar bowl
- 1 milk jug
- 1 teapot
Historical note and Manufacture:
Founded in San Marino, the Henriette manufactory became famous in the 60s and 70s for the production of ceramics and porcelains of the highest quality, often characterized by romantic decorations and exceptional finishes. The brand is a guarantee of authentic Sammarinese production of the period, sought after today by collectors for the brilliance of the glazes and the unmistakable style.
Condition:
The set is in good vintage condition. The ceramic retains a beautiful sheen and the colors are vivid. Being a production from the 1960s, there may be very slight signs of age that attest to its originality and historical charm, without compromising its use or aesthetic beauty.
