Descrizione:

Within the heated debate on the art industry that inflamed the Italian research context between the 1920s and 1930s, Ponti's ceramics for Richard Ginori stood out, despite their modern formal approach, for a peculiar stylistic syncretism imbued with references to remote eras and classicism, as in the case of the “Barbara” service, made in different color versions and with different decorations. Coffee service consisting of coffee pot, sugar bowl and creamer. The pieces are made of blue and white painted porcelain with gold details.
