Description from the seller
Elegant soup service probably produced by Ernestine in glazed ceramic, characterized by the vibrant bright red hue that made European design famous in the seventies.
The soft and essential lines, joined with the glossy finish and the darker contrasting profiles, perfectly express the modernist taste of the era.
The service is complete for 6 people and consists of:
6 soup cups
1 soup tureen
The intense color and the quality of the glaze make the set a decorative element as well as functional, ideal for those who love vintage design and retro atmospheres.
The production can be placed within the activity of Ernestine, a brand appreciated for producing ceramics with a strong stylistic character, which created numerous significant productions of domestic design in the 70s, today increasingly sought after by collectors and retro enthusiasts.
Most of Ernestine's production bore only a sticker as a mark which over time may have detached.
Good general condition, some pieces show chips highlighted in the photograph.
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.
