Description from the seller
Elegant porcelain dinner service for 9 people, model "Ancona", produced by Richard Ginori.
The model “Ancona” by Richard Ginori is one of the most recognizable in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century production of the manufactory, appreciated for its sober elegance and for the particular play of reliefs on the porcelain.
It is a model made in very fine white porcelain, characterized by a decoration that is not painted but shaped directly in the material. The distinctive element is in fact a spiral or fan-shaped relief that starts from the rim and develops toward the center of the plate with a fluid and regular progression. This motif creates a dynamic effect: light slides across the surface and highlights the curves, giving motion to an object that, in reality, is completely monocrome. The shape is clean and balanced, with slightly wavy or undulating rims that echo the rhythm of the decoration. It is not a traditionally decorated model, but rather an example of design in which the porcelain’s own structure becomes decoration, following a modern taste but still linked to classicity.
The service offered at auction is complete for 9 people and consists of:
9 flat plates
9 deep plates
The set is in good condition. As also evidenced by the photographs, there are evident knife marks on the flat plates. Small defects, less evident, also on the deep plates. No plate is broken.
Blue Richard Ginori mark with the model name on the back of each plate.
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.
