Description from the seller
Elegant dinnerware for 12 people produced by the historic Italian manufacturer Richard Ginori in the 1950s or 1960s, characterized by an elegant polychrome floral pattern in delicate tones and a thin gold border.
The decoration unfolds with great discretion across the surface of the pieces: small flowering sprigs with daisies and stylized flowers in pink, blue, yellow and green tones are arranged along the rim and, in some elements, on the central part. The result is luminous and airy, with a deliberately minimal decoration that leaves ample space for the whiteness of the porcelain.
The plates feature a simple and harmonious shape, accented by a thin gold filet along the edge. The floral motif, repeated with slight variations on the different pieces, gives the entire service a coordinated and refined character.
The set is complete for 12 people and consists of 40 pieces in total:
12 flat plates
12 soup plates
12 appetizer or dessert plates
1 soup tureen
1 round tray
1 oval tray
1 salad bowl
A pleasant and refined service, ideal for a bright and traditional table, but also suitable for daily use thanks to the simplicity of the shapes and the delicacy of the decoration.
Excellent overall condition; the salad bowl appears to have had the gold reapplied, which had likely worn off.
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.
