AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Barraud, Messeri & C. (B.M.C.), Sesto Fiorentino (1935-37), service of 6 dessert plates.
Diameter 19.5 cm. BMC brand. Sesto Fiorentino.
Model 414 decor 019
One of the dishes (last 4 photos) has slightly different colors and bears the BMC- brand.
Good conditions
The decor 019, yellow and black with dotted scrolls, gazelles, black triangles on a background of white pentagons edged in beige, is the same as that of the tea service published in Giorgio Levi, Barraud Messeri & C. Carraresi and Lucchesi, ETS, Pisa 2013, p. 81. The decor is very similar to that of a 1929 service by Ivos Pacetti for the ILSA of Albisola, preserved in the Wolfsoniana collection in Genoa and published in Silvia Barisione, Matteo Fochessati, Gianni Franzone, Under Mussolini - Decorative and Propaganda Arts of the Twenties and Thirties from the Wolfson Collection, Genoa, Edizioni Gabriele Mazzotta, Milan 2002, p. 65.
