AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A rare and fascinating lot consisting of three collectible plates signed by Morbelli, made in fine porcelain engraved with copperplate etching and hand-decorated with 24 carat pure gold and enamels.

The Morbelli manufactory is renowned for its extraordinary ability to fuse the art of porcelain with the splendors of ancient goldsmithing, recreating historical masterpieces on ceramic.

Each plate is complete with its own original vintage tag and the dedicated illustrated brochure.

The first piece is the "Gioiello Etrusco", dating from the archaic sixth century BC, produced in 1981 with serial number 2386, depicting a finely engraved Etruscan mask and pendant in pure gold with green enamel details.

The second plate is the "Gioiello Vichingo", originating from Denmark in the 10th century AD, made in 1982 with serial number 3078, characterized by a typical Nordic zoomorphic motif enriched with red enamel accents.

The third piece completes the trilogy and is the "Gioiello Germanico", referred to the Ottonian period around the year 1000, dated 1983 and bearing serial number 4669, enhanced by a stylized eagle incised in gold and cobalt blue enamel details.
