Description from the seller
White porcelain figurine by Richard Ginori
Rare glossy white porcelain figurine produced by the prestigious Italian manufactory Richard Ginori in the Fifties.
The work depicts a pair of children with sweet, infantile expressions as they smile in a conspiratorial, knowing way.
The figure is rendered with extraordinary plastic softness: the harmonious proportions of the child’s body and the slightly inclined pose give the piece movement and spontaneity.
The brilliant white porcelain, devoid of polychrome decorations, enhances the purity of the forms and the quality of the modeling, distinctive characteristics of Richard Ginori's production.
In perfect condition.
Dimensions: 13 x 8 x 5.5 cm.
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.
