Description from the seller
Precious tableware set for six people from the famous Italian manufacturer Galvani.
Finely crafted porcelain, elegant and unusual decoration with a blue plane-tree leaf at the center.
The set consists of six 20 cm flat plates and a 30 cm diameter tray.
The service is in excellent condition, with no breaks.
The Galvani manufactory was founded in Pordenone in 1811 by Giuseppe Galvani. At first the mark was a stylized anchor, then a stylized G; for a short period the word GALVANI within a rectangle (1933-34), and when the factory passed into the hands of Andrea Galvani it changed to a rooster, as in the case of this dinnerware service.
Galvani, unlike other important ceramic factories such as Richard Ginori, Fontebasso, Società Ceramica Laveno, was founded in a modern spirit in the early nineteenth century and, lacking a seventeenth/eighteenth-century tradition in its history, differentiated itself by targeting a more popular market with earthenware products.
The golden age of Galvani is between the two World Wars, during which many artistic works were exhibited in Milan and at the Venice Biennale, focusing mainly on airbrushed decorations, typical of Art Deco.
The slow decline occurred in the 1950s and 1960s, when, due to a lack of both artistic and technological renewal, it struggled to establish itself in an increasingly demanding market.
Galvani became the property in 1973 of Ugo Orlandi, who sold it in 1979 to Tognana Ceramiche. In 1983 Galvani was closed.
Rare, very elegant object.
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.
