AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of vases signed Richard Ginori, characterized by a refined decoration in intense cobalt blue and gold. The bodies, with a bulbous shape and harmoniously tapering toward the base, feature a dense ornamentation of floral motifs and gilded arabesques, distributed over the entire surface.
Particularly scenic are the side handles, molded into a volute and embellished with a rich gold finish, also echoed on the upper rim and on the feet. The brilliance of the blue enamel creates a pleasing contrast with the gold decoration, giving the two pieces a precious look with a strong decorative impact.
A pair of classic and refined taste, expression of Richard Ginori's ceramic tradition, ideal for an elegant interior or for a collection of decorative porcelain.
Forties or Fifties, late Deco.
Measurements 25x24x20 cm
Excellent condition, minimal defect on the foot of one of the vases.
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.
