Description from the seller
Elegant table service for 6 people produced by the Italian manufactory Richard Ginori in the 1930s.
The ornamental pattern features a composition inspired by Oriental decorations, refreshed in the Art Deco style typical of the thirties. The choice of the bulbous vase shape and the simplified floral tendrils may recall the famous designer Gio Ponti, who was the art director of the Richard Ginori manufactory in those years.
The set consists of 6 plates of 17 cm and 1 tray of 25 cm.
Excellent overall 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.
