Description from the seller
Complete six-place place setting in fine porcelain produced by Richard Ginori, model "Vecchio Ginori".
The origins of the sinuous style, characteristic of all Vecchio Ginori porcelains, date back to the 18th century. History has left us with a small but meaningful detail: an expression through which this shape was commonly referred to. A precious heritage of the past that still lets us perceive today the grandeur and the strength that made it immune, almost estranged, to the passage of centuries.
At Doccia, the magical place where our Ginori 1735 home was born, it was common to call "alla sassone" that characteristic border of porcelain dinnerware sets and of all other items that bore this name. A saying justified by eighteenth-century Germanic tradition, according to which porcelains with reliefs similar to woven baskets were made. Not by chance, ozier is the slightly more technical expression used to indicate this type of relief decoration, whose translation from German to Italian exactly corresponds to "wicker basket." A tradition that the masters of the Manufacture embraced, making the weaves more delicate, the lines more sinuous, with a taste and artisanal skill properly Italian that made immortal this simple yet elegant motif.
The set consists of 23 pieces:
- 6 flat plates
- 6 soup bowls
- 6 antipasto plates
- 1 tureen
- 1 gravy boat
- 1 salad bowl
- 1 round tray
- 1 oval tray with a small chip
The service is enhanced by a very delicate floral decoration, characterized by a thin garland running along the rim of each piece. The pattern is made up of tiny rose buds in shades of pink and blue, alternated with small green leaves, creating an elegant continuous border with a romantic and timeless charm. The whiteness of the porcelain is further enhanced by a relief work that recalls the veins of a shell or a fan, giving depth and movement to the surface. The slightly wavy edges and the fine gold trim that finishes the profile of each element add brightness and a further touch of prestige.
Good overall condition. Only the oval tray has a chip. The gold is slightly worn on some flat plates and soup bowls. Three flat plates show more evident signs of use."
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.
