Description from the seller
Precious table service for 6 people from the famous Italian manufacture Galvani.
Finest porcelain, elegant and refined decoration with a 24-carat gold edge and floral decals on the rim.
The set consists of 6 flat plates of 19.5 cm.
The service is in excellent condition, with no breaks.
The Galvani manufacture was founded in Pordenone in 1811 by Giuseppe Galvani. In the beginning the mark was a stylized anchor, then a stylized G; for a short period the inscription GALVANI appeared in a rectangle (1933-34), and when the factory passed into the hands of Andrea Galvani it changed to a rooster, as in this service of dishes.
Galvani, unlike other important ceramics factories such as Richard Ginori, Fontebasso, Società Ceramica Laveno, was founded in a modern sense at the beginning of the nineteenth century and, lacking a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century tradition, differentiated itself by targeting a more popular market with earthenware products.
The golden period of Galvani is between the two world wars, exhibiting many artistic works in Milan and at the Venice Biennale, mainly devoted to airbrushed decorations typical of Art Deco.
The slow decline occurred in the 1950s and 1960s when, due to a lack of artistic and technological renewal, it struggled to establish itself in a market that was increasingly demanding.
Galvani came under the ownership of Ugo Orlandi in 1973, who sold it in 1979 to Tognana Ceramiche. In 1983 Galvani was closed.
Rare item, very elegant.
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.
