Description from the seller
Elegant white porcelain oval tray from the Richard Ginori manufactory, characterized by a refined polychrome decoration inspired by the art of bonsai and Japanese figurative culture.
At the center of the composition is depicted a bonsai with a sinuous form, its brown trunk finely outlined and a broad, light, and ramified crown rendered in various shades of reddish-brown. The tree is placed inside a small rectangular vase, accompanied by tufts of vegetation that contribute to creating the effect of a real miniature landscape.
The edge is embellished with a thin green border, a feature that discreetly frames the white field of porcelain.
The composition is particularly interesting for its minimalist and elegant character: the large white space surrounding the bonsai enhances the central subject and recalls the importance of empty space in Eastern aesthetics.
Measurements: 38x26 cm
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.
