Elevate your collection with this exquisite set of porcelain plates by Richard Ginori, the pinnacle of Italian ceramic excellence since 1735. These pieces belong to the iconic "Paesaggi Italiani" (Italian Landscapes) series, featuring vibrant, hand-finished vintage illustrations of Italy’s most beautiful cities, including Rome (St. Peter's Square), Naples (Santa Lucia), and Genoa (The Lighthouse).
Artisanal Craftsmanship & Unique Detail
Each plate is crafted from high-quality fine porcelain. A notable feature of this set is a small original manufacturing detail on one of the plates: a portion of the rim features a hand-painted brown stroke, perfectly matching the sepia tones of the central landscape. Rather than a flaw, this "manufacturing touch" serves as an authentic signature of the manual decoration process, distinguishing these pieces from mass-produced items.
Condition & Authenticity
