Società Ceramica Italiana Di Laveno G. Andloviz Six Tea Cups and Saucer Service
About the Item
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
Elegant and delicate tea set in Italian porcelain, composed by 6 shaped cups with shaped saucer; they all have a central miniature, surrounded by pure gold decorations, representing female figures dressed in ancient Roman clothes in a rural landscape; the border is of a nice color between scarlet and crimson, typical of amaranth flowers, ornamental plant; the handle is very elaborate and decorated in gold; on the saucer there are elegantly embossed decorations and others in pure gold. The mark on the bottom (see photo) tells us that they were produced between 1935 and 1940 by Società Ceramica Italiana of Laveno, a town in the province of Varese located on the shores of Lake Maggiore. The Società Ceramica Italiana of Laveno was founded in 1856 by former employees of Richard, becoming a true authority in the field, in 1883 it took the name of Società Ceramica Italiana and produced tableware and ceramic and porcelain objects, in 1956 it became part of the Richard-Ginori group and in 1965 the final merger took place. Numerous successes were achieved during its century-long history, studded with participation in events and international exhibitions. The most artistically prolific and refined period was from 1920 to 1940, when Guido Andloviz was in charge of the artistic direction. He gave a very important contribution to the company, starting production that at the beginning looked at French models and later was influenced by German and Viennese schematics. G.Andloviz was a valid architect from Trieste, he was an innovator who managed to combine a modern and original design to the mass production of tableware, his stylized drawings of flowers, landscapes, and figures, in general, are typical; always in that period, there are remarkable and important artists giving life to refined and unique objects. On the cups in some parts, the pure gold appears consumed, but this makes the object much more fascinating and historically interesting. Measures Cup diameter cm.7, height cm8, saucer diameter cm.15, height cm.2.For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.

- Meissen Porcelain Pink Roses Coffee Service and Embossed Decorations '11 Cups'By Meissen PorcelainLocated in Prato, TuscanyWe kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Rare Meissen porcelain coffee service in Biedermeier style; the set consists of a teapot, a sugar bowl, a milk jug, and 11 cups with plate; the various pieces are made of fine hand-painted hard white porcelain with the "Pink Roses" decoration enriched on all items with sumptuous unpainted relief decorations. Unlike the simple and quite common "Pink Roses", this model is very rare, prestigious, and sought after, therefore even more expensive; in fact, the objects with this relief decoration, much more particular and detailed than others, were fired three times, while those with only the "Pink Roses" decoration only twice. Moreover, the execution of this ornamental motif with delicate and graceful flowers was entrusted only to the most experienced and skilled painters, those in possession of the prestigious diploma obtained at the "School of Drawing of Meissen" established since 1764. The knobs of the teapot and sugar bowl represent two harmonious and graceful rosebuds, also handmade; the edges of the cups and saucers are scalloped and finished with pure gold as well as the other decorations of the teapot and sugar bowl. All pieces bear the original Meissen trademark (two crossed swords) and from the enclosed list it can be stated with certainty that our service was produced between 1934 and 1944; moreover, on the objects the model is handwritten (61/106), this wording makes the artifacts even more precious and appreciated as they preserve all the characteristics of the author's calligraphy. Meissen porcelain was created in the castle of Albrechtsburg, in Meissen, a small town in Saxony near Dresden, in 1710, at the behest of Augustus the Strong (1670-1733), Prince-Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, who wanted to start production after the studies and experiments of his alchemist Bottger. Bottger discovered the formula for porcelain, in fact at that time, only the Chinese and Japanese had the recipe to create this wonderful material; Meissen was, therefore, the first porcelain produced in Europe! Bottger never revealed his formula to anyone, only a certain stage was known to the workers; we do not know, even today, in what proportions the different components are mixed; this is the great secret that allowed the famous brand to be considered the best in the world, Meissen porcelain is given the nickname of "white gold"! Through the years, Meissen has perfected its hard-paste products with high-temperature firing during its glazing. Meissen's porcelain patterns have been copied by many other manufacturers around the world such as Royal Copenhagen, Dresden, Herend, and many others, but Meissen's porcelain glaze maintains its quality over time and is superior to all (plates will not scratch with prolonged use of cutlery!). This is why even old Meissen...Category

Rare porcelain soup service by Meissen in Biedermeier style; the set consists of 12 cups with two handles and saucer; the various pieces are made of fine white hard porcelain hand-painted with the decoration "Pink Roses" enriched on all items with sumptuous decorations in relief not painted.
