Richard Ginori - Tureen - Porcelain - Old Ginori

Beautiful porcelain tureen, produced by Richard Ginori, model "Vecchio Ginori" with elegant gold finishes. The origins of the sinuous style, characteristic of all Vecchio Ginori porcelains, lie in the course of the 18th century. History has left us a small but meaningful detail: an expression through which it was common to refer to this very form. A precious heritage of the past that allows us to perceive even today the greatness and the strength that made it immune, almost estranged, to the passage of centuries. In Doccia, a magical place where our Ginori 1735 house was born, it was common to call "alla sassone" that border motif characteristic of porcelain dinner services and of all other items that bore this name. A saying justified by the seventeenth-century Germanic tradition, according to which porcelains with reliefs similar to those of woven baskets were produced. Not by chance, ozier is the more technical expression used to indicate this type of raised decoration, whose translation from German to Italian precisely corresponds to "wicker basket." A tradition that the masters of the Manifattura embraced, making the weaves more delicate, the lines more sinuous, with a taste and artisanal skill properly Italian that have made immortal this simple yet elegant motif. The tureen stands out for its relief work on the fine porcelain, which renders the design classic and unmistakable. On the handle is modeled a pumpkin. Excellent condition. The tureen is still in production and is sold for 495.00 euros without gilding.
