The Galvani factory was founded in Pordenone in 1811 by Giuseppe Galvani. At first the mark was a stylized anchor, then a stylized G, for a short period the inscription GALVANI in a rectangle (1933-34) and when the factory passed into the hands of Andrea Galvani it changed to a rooster, as in the case of this set of dishes.
Galvani, unlike other important ceramic factories such as Richard Ginori, Fontebasso, Società ceramica Laveno, was founded in modern terms at the beginning of the nineteenth century and, lacking in its annals a seventeenth-century tradition, differentiated itself by addressing a more popular market with earthenware products. The golden era of Galvani is between the two World Wars, exhibiting many artistic works in Milan and at the Venice Biennale, mainly dedicated to spray-painted decorations, typical of Art Deco. The slow decline occurs in the 1950s and 1960s, when, due to a lack of renewal both artistic and technological, it struggles to establish itself in an increasingly demanding market. Galvani became property in 1973 of Ugo Orlandi who sold it in 1979 to Tognana Ceramiche. In 1983 Galvani was closed.

Rare object, very elegant.
