Description from the seller
Elegant ceramic liqueur set, decorated in monochrome blue on a white ground, made by Giuseppe Barile in Albisola. The set consists of a central bottle, with its distinctive rounded shape and cylindrical neck, and six small glasses arranged symmetrically on either side, forming a highly original composition.
The hand-painted decoration features floral and botanical motifs in the traditional Albisola style, alongside a landscape scene with architecture and figures on the front of the bottle.
Of particular interest is the set’s structural design, in which the small glasses fit around the body of the bottle to form a compact, striking ensemble.
Some flaws are shown in the photographs.
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.
