AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Winterling Bavaria dessert service in fine pierced porcelain, characterized by a refined poly-chrome decoration with a naturalistic taste.
The peculiarity of the service consists of the entirely pierced rim, made with a regular succession of small vertical cutouts that visually lighten the shape and create an elegant lace-like effect on the porcelain. The edge is also outlined by a thin gilded thread.
In the center of the plates there is a lively figurative decoration depicting colorful exotic birds perched among branches, leaves, and small flowers. The subjects are painted with bright colors — pink, red, blue, green and orange — creating a pleasant contrast with the white porcelain background. The composition recalls the eighteenth-century taste for oriental scenes and representations of exotic birds, reinterpreted by European production of a later era.
The alternation between the bright white of the porcelain, the pierced rim, the gilding, and the lively central decoration makes the service particularly dramatic, while maintaining an elegant and easily integrable look on a classic table.
The set consists of:
1 flat plate of 21.5 cm
6 flat plates of 15.5 cm
Perfect 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.
