Description from the seller
Rare table service consisting of 8 flat plates of 23.5 cm, made by Freda Capodimonte.
The set is decorated with a double border: a thicker blue one and a finer gold one.
Good overall condition, minimal flaws related to the artisanal production. All plates are intact in every part.
Manufacture Freda Capodimonte, founded in the early post-war period by Angelo Freda, an Abruzzese who settled in Naples. The Manufacture was acquired in the 1950s by the Laveno factory, part of the Richard Ginori group.
Very rare item.
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 artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
