AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful and rare vase produced by the prestigious Italian porcelain manufacturer Richard Ginori in the second half of the nineteenth century.
This vase is a celebrated model of an apothecary vase made by Richard Ginori in the nineteenth century.
The body, with its distinctive cup shape, has a smooth, slightly flared upper section, while the lower section is enhanced with vertical fluting that lends movement and depth to the surface. An ornamental garland motif, edged in brown and gold, separates the two areas of the body, creating a pleasing decorative contrast.
The neck ends in a slightly flared rim, accentuated by a fine gilt line. The cup rests on a turned, shaped stem connected to a geometric, tiered base, also enhanced with delicate gilt decoration.
Measurements: 18.5 × 13 cm
Excellent condition, with a few small black specks in the porcelain. Please note that the last two photographs show an identical, but later, example bearing the green Ginori mark. The vase offered at auction is older and unmarked, but is certainly by Richard Ginori.
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.
