Has some wear and minimal paint loss, and there is a small chip on the sugar bowl rim (check the photos for details) Designed in 1954 by Giovanni Gariboldi, Richard Ginori’s artistic director, this iconic Ulpia set embodies the elegance of Italian Mid-Century Modern design. The Richard Ginori factory - founded in 1735 - stood as Italy’s finest porcelain producer, beloved by collectors and decorators alike. Its sculptural lines and vibrant orange-and-white glaze made it an icon of postwar optimism. Once admired on Milanese coffee tables, today it suits both retro-inspired and contemporary interiors. This Ulpia series is a rare find - prized in museum collections such as Victoria and Albert Museum (https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O170522/ulpia-teapot-and-cover-gariboldi-giovanni/). Its bold, aerodynamic form reflects the futuristic spirit of 1950s Italy. The orange enamel symbolizes warmth and conviviality, perfect for gatherings. Gariboldi, a Compasso d’Oro winner, was one of Italy’s leading modernist designers, and his work is cherished by collectors worldwide. Each piece required exceptional craftsmanship, from the precise moldwork to the flawless glaze application. Sets of this completeness are increasingly scarce.
