Description from the seller
Elegant dessert set for 6 people produced in Switzerland by the Langenthal manufactory.
Each piece of the set is adorned with a refined decoration that pairs a cobalt blue ornamental border with polychrome figurative motifs. The rim features a rich interlacing of floral elements and blue arabesques, outlined by thin gold threads that lend luminosity and refinement to the whole.
At the center of the plates are depicted gallant scenes inspired by the eighteenth century, with ladies and gentlemen dressed according to the fashion of the time, immersed in romantic pastoral landscapes. The figures, rendered in delicate pastel tones, create a pleasant contrast with the deep blue of the surrounding decoration.
The set consists of 6 plates with a diameter of 17 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.
