AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a refined vintage tray from the Società Ceramica Richard, characterized by a white porcelain base with a splendid multicolored floral decoration and framed by a perforated edge with a minute and regular motif, of metal like the two handles.
The bouquet-of-flowers motifs shaded were very fashionable in that period, symbolizing grace and refinement typical of the floral taste and the strong earthenware produced mainly at the Milanese San Cristoforo factory.
The mark SOC. CER. RICHARD (Società Ceramica Richard) impressed in the image identifies a historic piece of Italian ceramic manufacture and allows it to be placed in a precise time period.
This specific mark was used by the Milanese manufacturer Società Ceramica Richard between 1873 and 1896. The Società Ceramica Richard was officially founded by Giulio Richard in February 1873, taking over the historic San Cristoforo sul Naviglio plant in Milan. The mark ceased to be used in 1896, the year in which the company merged with the famous Manifattura Ginori of Doccia, giving life to the industrial giant Richard-Ginori.
As shown in the photo, it presents small defects.
Dimensions: height with handles 4.5 cm; without handles height 3.5 cm – diameter 40.5 cm – width with handles 47 cm
