Description from the seller
Elegant service of shell-shaped plates in white porcelain, characterized by a refined ornamental decor in coral orange, red and gold tones. Production from the early years of the twentieth century, probably by Richard Ginori. There are no marks on the pieces of the set, but there are references to the model used, especially in the colors chosen for the decoration.
The shape of the plates is shell-shaped, enhanced by a thin radial relief work that develops from the central part toward the edge and gives the surface a delicate plastic effect. The most distinctive element is the perimeter decoration: a double circular line in orange and gold follows the profile of the plate, breaking at the elegant ornamental motif of scrolls arranged on the edge. The motif, enriched with small gold details, features sinuous and geometric shapes that recall a floral or vegetal stylization.
The combination between the purity of the white background, the bright orange and the gold details creates an extremely luminous and sophisticated contrast. The composition, while maintaining a certain traditional elegance, reveals a clear search for modern decorative taste.
For formal characteristics, the service is attributable to the Art Deco / early twentieth century taste, in particular to that porcelain production that reinterpreted floral and naturalistic motifs through more stylized, geometric and dynamic lines.
A service of great decorative impact, particularly interesting for those who appreciate historical porcelains of the early twentieth century and the more refined interpretations of the Art Deco language.
Hand-painted polychrome decorations.
Dimensions 11.5x14x2.5 cm
Excellent condition.
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.
