Mattéo d´Agostino - Ernestine Virden Cannon - Table service for 12 (32) - Earthenware

Dinner service /12, flat plates, 12 plates, deep, a soup tureen with lid, a large service platter, a vegetable dish, a bottle for oil and vinegar / salt and pepper / as well as the tray that goes underneath the oil, vinegar and salt and pepper. It is extremely complete in very good condition and listed on Catawiki. I also sell the coffee service and the soup service from the same manufacturer and the same year.

The dinner service (including the flat, hollow plates and the serving dishes) is exactly from the same period (the 1950s to 1960s) and features the same decorative patterns as the coffee or tea services.

The Ceramiche Ernestine factory in Salerno designed its collections as complete ranges for the table. Designer Ernestine Cannon applied each hand-painted motif (whether the “Bamboo” motif, the “Violets,” or citrus décors) across all pieces so buyers could coordinate their table:
• The era: Full Mid-Century Modern period, characterized by free-form shapes and sunny colors.
