GALVANI Ceramiche - Decoro futurista - Bowl (5) - Porcelain

Set of 5 bowls produced by the famous Italian manufacturer Galvani. Airbrushed decoration on the rim in a futuristic style. The set consists of 5 bowls 13x3 cm. Overall good condition, one bowl has more noticeable defects. The Galvani manufactory originated in Pordenone in 1811 from Giuseppe Galvani. At first the brand was a stylized anchor, then a stylized G, for a short period the inscription GALVANI in a rectangle (1933-34) and when the factory passed into the hands of Andrea Galvani it changed to a rooster, as in the case of this dinnerware service. Galvani, unlike other important ceramic factories such as Richard Ginori, Fontebasso, Laveno Ceramic Society, was born modern at the beginning of the nineteenth century and, not having in its history a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century tradition, differentiated itself by addressing 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 focusing on airbrushed decors, 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 assert itself in an increasingly demanding market. Galvani became the property in 1973 of Ugo Orlandi who ceded it in 1979 to Tognana Ceramiche. In 1983 Galvani was closed. Rare item, very elegant.
