Description from the seller
Valuable dinner service for 6 people from the famous Richard Ginori manufactory. COMPLETE. A remarkable 22 pieces of extraordinary workmanship.
The service is in overall excellent condition, with no breaks. Note the craquelure present on some pieces, typical of this strong-bodied porcelain produced by Richard in the 1950s. Two plates have small stains as shown in the last two photographs. All small signs of time that attest to authenticity and history of the service, enhancing its charm and making it an example of the value and excellence of Made in Italy.
Composed of:
- 6 Flat plates
- 6 Deep plates
- 6 Appetizer/Dessert plates
- 1 Soup tureen
- 1 oval tray
- 1 round tray
- 1 gravy boat
The decoration consists of small bouquets of stylized flowers, evenly distributed along the rim of the plates and echoed on the tureen and the serving pieces. A slender double pink border, placed near the edge, completes the decoration and creates a refined contrast with the whiteness of the porcelain.
Richard Ceramics Company - Richard Ginori group since 1896, 1940s–1950s.
Multiple traceable shipping and careful and professional packing.
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 artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
