Description from the seller
Splendid fruit set for 6 people produced by the Richard Ginori manufacture. The dishes are in excellent condition. The mark they bear is green, with the three stars, from the 1930s. Each piece is decorated with an elegant multicolored transfer to depict still lifes of fruit of different types, painted with a delicate and harmonious taste. The white porcelain background enhances the vibrancy of the decorations, while the thin silver rim finishing the edge gives a touch of elegance and continuity to the entire service. The set comprises 6 flat plates of 18 cm and a tray of 26 cm. Excellent condition.
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.
