AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important and original kitchen service produced by Ceramica Franco Pozzi of Gallarate, characterized by the famous geometric “Righe” motif, one of Pozzi’s most representative decorations from the late 1960s to the 1970s.
The service stands out for the elegant alternation of horizontal white, orange, and olive green bands, a color combination typically linked to the design culture and Italian domestic aesthetics of the period. The design, seemingly simple, gains particular strength from the regularity of the bands and the contrast between the warm colors and the white ceramic surface.
Particularly distinctive are the natural wood lids, with rounded shapes, which create an interesting material contrast with the glazed ceramic. The wood, in addition to its practical function, helps define the modernist and informal aesthetics of the entire service.
The composition includes containers of different sizes, jars, small spice holders, and two taller elements with handles, plus the special wooden base intended to house some of the containers. A coordinated and articulated ensemble, today not commonly found in complete form.
The striped motif belongs to the more modern phase of Franco Pozzi production, when the majolica increasingly oriented itself toward a language close to industrial design, made of essential shapes, geometries, and decisive colors. It is a particularly interesting period also due to the presence of Ambrogio Pozzi, a central figure in the artistic and design development of the majolica.
In good overall condition, the oil and vinegar have defects more evident as shown in the photograph.
Very rare.
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.
