Description from the seller
Elegant coffee service for 10 people in ivory-glazed ceramic from Grottaglie, Trani manufacture, consisting of a teapot with lid, creamer, sugar bowl with lid, and 10 cups with saucers.
The set is made of ivory-colored glazed ceramic, with soft, rounded shapes. The decoration, applied by hand, features concentric bands in black, ochre, and gold, interspersed with an elegant stylized vegetal motif in turquoise blue and green, arranged as a garland around the cups, saucers, and the bodies of the vessels.
The teapot, the main element of the set, has a globular body, a slender spout, and a loop handle; the lid is topped with a small spherical knob. The sugar bowl repeats the same form and decoration, as does the creamer, creating a striking overall uniformity.
Also noteworthy is the shape of the cups, characterized by a low, rounded body and a wide handle, resting on saucers decorated with the same vegetal garland.
The production is linked to the ceramic tradition of Grottaglie, one of the most important ceramic centers in Apulia.
Good condition, minimal imperfections related to artisanal production.
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.
