Description from the seller
Rare dinner service made of earthenware and hand-painted by the artisans of the prestigious Italian manufacturer Richard Ginori.
The set consists of:
7 dinner plates, 21 cm
4 soup plates, 23.5 cm
3 small plates, 19.5 cm
A major Richard-Ginori success of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, this service is called Paola and was made in earthenware, first in Mondovì and later in Laveno. The design of its softly flowing, relaxed lines is attributed to Gio Ponti. The Paola shape was later paired with vibrant, colorful floral decorations (as in this case), designed and created by Cesare Lacca.
All the plates are finely hand-decorated with a floral motif featuring colorful flowers characteristic of the Mondovì series.
The service is in good overall condition. Some plates show the crazing typical of earthenware. Some plates have chips.
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.
