Description from the seller
12-person coffee service in maiolica ceramic, hand-painted by the prestigious Cantagalli manufactory in Florence, an excellence in 20th-century ceramic art.
The set stands out for its characteristic polychrome decoration inspired by the Tuscan landscape, with architectural views, farmhouses, towers and cypresses painted within small figurative cartouches that animate every element of the service.
The shapes of the cups and tableware, slightly curved and ribbed, recall the Italian Renaissance maiolicas, reinterpreted according to the historical taste that made the Cantagalli Florence manufactory famous from the late 19th century to the early decades of the 20th. The decoration is enriched by delicate vegetal motifs in ramina green and ochre yellow, while the profiles are highlighted by a thin green border that lends elegance and uniformity to the whole.
The coffee pot, with slender lines and a lid topped by a knob shaped like a fruit, forms the centerpiece of the composition and bears witness to the manufactory’s attention to execution quality and decorative taste. The entire service expresses the charm of Cantagalli artistic productions, renowned for their ability to reinterpret Italian ceramic tradition with high painting and craftsmanship quality.
In excellent condition, small flaws due to artisanal production. One cup shows a slight chip at the base. The photographs reflect the actual condition of the object and are an integral part of the description.
Very rare item.
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.
