Ceramica 3 C - Table service for 6 (19) - Ceramic - Raro - Flowers

Brand: ceramic 3 C.C.C. N – 'Hand Decorated • Dishwasher Safe'

The brand is particular and rare.
It appears in some Italian artisanal productions from Northern Italy between the 1950s and 1970s, often linked to small workshops that created completely handmade decorations on bases made of durable ceramic.

The characteristics
Thick ceramic, slightly dotted (fine gravel typical of the period).
completely brush-painted
Stamp with a stylized tower (a recurring element in various post-war Italian ceramic workshops).
Inscription 'hand-decorated' and 'dishwasher safe' places the production between the late 1950s and 1960s.

It is a brand with low production volume, and it is not common to find it in complete sets and so well preserved.
For this reason, today it is highly sought after by those who collect post-war Italian artistic ceramics, often associated with similar productions such as Galba – Primula – Ronzan – Bitossi popular – Laveno hand-decorated.
It reminds me of the very iconic Ginori Mondovi.

Note for collectors

Finding 6+6+6 + 1 bowl/salad bowl is very rare: a complete, iconic composition with a strong visual presence.
This type of hand-decorated ceramics is experiencing a strong resurgence, precisely because it combines craftsmanship, color, history, and versatility in decor.
