AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and eccentric vintage Italian artisanal ceramic table service, composed of a large carafe/pitcher for wine or water with sculptural, modern design and 4 matching goblets/glasses.
Made and painted entirely by hand by the famous FIMA (Fabbrica Italiana Maioliche Artistiche) Deruta, renowned for its craftsmanship and innovative design in the heart of Umbria.
The service stands out for its dynamic lines inspired by Mid-Century/Art Deco, with a twisted, slender handle in black and white, adorned with geometric motifs, diamonds and multicolored raised details (black, red and white) on a cream/pale yellow striped background.
The carafe bears the hand-painted origin mark on the bottom: "FIMA DERUTA".
A set with great visual impact, perfect for daily use, as a decorative element, or a collectible piece for lovers of Italian artistic ceramic from the twentieth century.
