Richard Ginori porcelain small vase from Italy, dating to circa 1850–1900, about 10 cm wide and 10 cm high with a compact, slightly bulbous form and a wide upper rim, decorated with a cobalt blue band at the upper body and matching bands on the foot, in good used condition with minor age marks and yellowing.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Small and elegant Richard Ginori vase in white porcelain, characterized by a compact and harmonious shape, with a slightly bulbous body, short circular foot and a broadly flared upper rim.
The decoration is deliberately minimal and consists of a refined cobalt blue band on the upper part of the body, bordered by thin blue threads, also repeated on the foot. The contrast between the deep blue and the whiteness of the porcelain gives the object a luminous and particularly elegant appearance.
The form, simple yet carefully molded, and the geometric decoration suggest an object intended for a table or a home environment of classical taste, usable as a small vase, decorative container, or centerpiece.
Measurements 10x10 cm
Good overall condition, in some parts the vase is yellowed. These defects are shown 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.
