Richard Ginori - Table service (18) - For 9 people - Porcelain - Ancona

Elegant porcelain dinner service for 9 people, model "Ancona", produced by Richard Ginori. The model “Ancona” by Richard Ginori is one of the most recognizable in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century production of the manufactory, appreciated for its sober elegance and for the particular play of reliefs on the porcelain. It is a model made in very fine white porcelain, characterized by a decoration that is not painted but shaped directly in the material. The distinctive element is in fact a spiral or fan-shaped relief that starts from the rim and develops toward the center of the plate with a fluid and regular progression. This motif creates a dynamic effect: light slides across the surface and highlights the curves, giving motion to an object that, in reality, is completely monocrome. The shape is clean and balanced, with slightly wavy or undulating rims that echo the rhythm of the decoration. It is not a traditionally decorated model, but rather an example of design in which the porcelain’s own structure becomes decoration, following a modern taste but still linked to classicity. The service offered at auction is complete for 9 people and consists of: 9 flat plates 9 deep plates The set is in good condition. As also evidenced by the photographs, there are evident knife marks on the flat plates. Small defects, less evident, also on the deep plates. No plate is broken. Blue Richard Ginori mark with the model name on the back of each plate.

Estimate:$165.87
