Descrizione:

Having graduated as an architect from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in 1923, Guido Andlovitz was hired as a consultant by the Società Ceramica Italiana of Laveno and became its artistic director in 1927: a position he would hold for about forty years. Alongside ceramic production, he was also involved in the design of furnishings, as in the case of the boudoir presented at the Fifth Milan Triennale in 1933, where an all-white version of this service was on display, whose trademark with the words “Verbano-Laveno” indicated that it was “ dinnerware porcelain.” Porcelain coffee service consisting of two cups with saucer, teapot, milk jug, and sugar bowl; the pieces are decorated with a red and black line pattern.
