AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare late 19th-century dinner service produced by the Ceramica Richard Company, which from 1896 became Richard Ginori, and decorated with a refined motif inspired by English ceramics called "Colandine".
The name Colandine derives from an English manufactory that spread this motif, probably the South Wales Pottery of Llanelly, active in the 19th century. The design enjoyed great fortune and was adopted by numerous European manufactories, including Italian ones.
The subject depicts a fantastical oriental-inspired garden, with pagoda-like architectures, lush vegetation, flowers and water. It fits into the taste for exotic images that characterized much European production in the 19th century, influenced by the spread of English ceramics decorated with Oriental landscapes.
Light signs of craquelure on some of the plates.
Mark impressed SCR and the name of the pattern "Colandine".
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.
