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

Dinnerware set /12 dinner plates, 12 soup plates, one serving tureen with lid, , one large serving platter, one vegetable dish, one bottle for oil and vinegar / salt and pepper / as well as the tray that goes underneath the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. It is extremely complete, in very good condition, and listed on Catawiki. I am also selling the coffee set and the soup set from the same manufacturer and the same year. The dinnerware set (comprising the dinner plates, soup plates and serving dishes) is from exactly the same period (the 1950s to 1960s) and features the same decorative designs as the coffee or tea sets.
The Ceramiche Ernestine factory in Salerno designed its collections as complete tableware ranges. Designer Ernestine Cannon adapted each hand-painted pattern (whether the “Bamboo” motif, “Violets,” or citrus designs) across all the pieces so buyers could coordinate their table:
• The period: The height of the Mid-Century Modern era, characterized by free-flowing shapes and sunny colors.
