All auctions / Miscellaneous / Richard Ginori - attribuito GIO PONTI - Coffee service (12) - Porcelain


Six Richard Ginori cups and saucers, a service of extraordinary lightness and elegance, with a design that truly deserves attention. The cups have a wide, open shape, delicately rounded and narrowing down to a small base. The slender handles follow the profile discreetly, while the saucers complete the set with harmonious proportions. Exceptionally light in the hand, they express a refinement to be appreciated both in use and on display. What makes the set special is its stylized, almost fanciful botanical decoration: shapes suggesting flowers, leaves, and small fans, reinterpreted with an original graphic touch. Light blue and dark blue meet green and orangey red in a lively, rhythmic sequence. A design with great personality, bringing movement to the porcelain without weighing down its light forms. A fine gold line traces the edges and embellishes the handles, adding a luminous accent to the interplay of color and material. The clean profiles and balance between decoration and function evoke the sensibility of 20th-century Italian ceramics, with an aesthetic affinity to Gio Ponti’s work: a stylistic reference, without attributing the design to the designer. The set includes 6 cups and 6 saucers, for a total of 12 pieces. The green Richard Ginori mark with three stars is visible on the bottom of the photographed cup. They show slight signs of age and wear to the gold trim, visible in the details, which contribute to the set’s vintage character. A set full of personality, capable of turning tea time into a small ritual of beauty. A refined Christmas gift idea for anyone who loves Richard Ginori, a beautifully set table, and objects chosen for the pleasure of holding them.
