Description from the seller
Elegant dinner service for 6, made by the historic Società Ceramica Italiana of Laveno, one of Italy’s most prestigious porcelain and ceramics manufacturers of the 20th century, which joined the Richard Ginori group in the 1960s. This particular service was made around the time the two major Italian ceramics leaders merged, as evidenced by its design, which closely echoes Richard Ginori’s celebrated “Antico Doccia.”
The Antico Doccia shape embodies the deepest essence of Richard Ginori, identifying the manufactory worldwide as a leading name in fine porcelain and design. Its curved lines and profile, inspired by late Baroque Florentine silverware, make Antico Doccia a timeless collection. This service was made by the Laveno manufactory with the same features as Richard Ginori’s Antico Doccia model, but in earthenware rather than porcelain.
At the center of each plate is an elegant multicolored decal depicting a rose.
The set consists of 6 dinner plates, 23.5 cm in diameter.
Excellent overall condition. Some plates show crazing.
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.
