Description from the seller
Elegant and unusual tableware for 6 people produced by the historic Italian porcelain manufactory Richard Ginori.
The ornamental motif features a multicolored floral composition that decorates the rim of the ravières.
The set consists of 6 ravières (soup plates) measuring 15 x 22 cm.
The name raviera derives from the French ravier, a term linked to rave, which means “turnip” or “radish.” Originally, in fact, this small table container would have been used to serve radishes and other vegetables. Over time, the term came to indicate a small plate, generally oval and elongated, mainly used for serving antipasti.
Very unusual to find 6 identical pieces, perfect to be used as an unusual antipasto plate or to serve contorni (side dishes).
Excellent overall condition. One raviera has a floral decalcomanie with flowers of a different type from the others.
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.
